Board approves field‑trip policy change, walkway pad and locker‑room storage
Summary
The board approved policy package 25‑2 (a field trip approval threshold change), a concrete walkway and pad at Allen Elementary (not to exceed $8,263), and a locker‑room storage purchase from Casper Corporation for $36,050.88 funded by bond funds.
The Southgate Community School District Board approved a set of non‑instructional and facilities items at the Nov. 25 meeting, including a final policy change for field‑trip approvals, a concrete pathway and a locker‑room storage purchase.
Staff presented Policy Package 25‑2 as the final request to revise field‑trip approval thresholds so the district avoids unnecessary board review for some trips; the board approved the package by voice vote.
Facilities staff described a concrete walkway from the GSRP door to the Allen Elementary playground and a 10×10 concrete pad for a shed to store riding toys. Royal Cement submitted the estimate of $6,263 and staff requested a $2,000 contingency for a not‑to‑exceed total of $8,263; the board approved the work under the district’s five‑year concrete bid.
On locker‑room storage, staff recommended a commercial‑grade metal storage solution from Casper Corporation to consolidate equipment into renovated former shower areas. The vendor price was listed as not to exceed $36,050.88 and staff said the purchase will be funded from bond funds. Board members asked about capacity, material and future needs; staff said the units are roughly 7 feet high, durable and carry a parts policy to replace defective pieces.
Each item was moved, seconded and approved by voice vote.
