The superintendent also announced a change order for the Miracle League Park phase 2 project: an increase of $72,127.37 that brings the revised total to $4,000,800.37. The superintendent said the change involved work such as dugouts and road toping; the fund source was donations and local funds.
A separate capital item awarded the culinary arts renovations at multiple schools to the lowest bidder, Tyndall, for $1,925,000 (local funds). An architectural selection for another capital project was announced as Ward Scott Morris with state legislative funds.
When a board member asked what AltaPointe’s $517,998 contract would provide, the superintendent replied, “Therapeutic services for all of those students at West Mo.” The superintendent also offered to provide contract details if the scope was not explicit in the documents presented.
