Board approves technology guidelines amendment, accepts fence and asphalt repair bids
Summary
The Pittsburg Board approved technology guidelines with an amendment to inventory public-facing IP addresses, and awarded construction work: Jones Construction to replace a rusted high-school fence for $31,185 and a contractor to perform a fiber-reinforced asphalt repair of the high-school front lane (estimated roughly $157,000).
The Pittsburg Board of Education approved updated technology guidelines with a focused amendment: the district will establish an inventory of public-facing IP addresses as part of improved network security measures. Board members said an inventory and tighter controls over public-facing internet addresses are an important cybersecurity step; staff also described plans for phishing simulations and staff-facing security awareness training.
Separately, the board accepted a bid from Jones Construction to replace the rusted chain-link fence at the high-school track for $31,185. Board members described the fence as in poor condition and agreed to proceed.
The board also approved a recommendation to repair the high-school front lane (former bus lane and parent pickup area) using fiber-reinforced asphalt with milling in weak areas. Staff described work that includes milling and crowning to preserve drainage and avoid creating deep grates; initial estimates discussed during the meeting placed the project in the low six figures (discussion referenced an approximate $157,000 figure), and the board moved to accept the recommended contractor and scope.
Board members asked staff to ensure bids include performance bonds and to verify any contractor documentation before authorizing work. The technology guidelines and the construction bids were approved in voice votes during the meeting.
