Board approves consent package including bus purchase and solar contract
Summary
The Wicomico County Board of Education approved a consent package that included personnel matters, software, a 72-seat diesel school bus (approx. $146,000), and a solar installation for East Salisbury Elementary awarded to Sunrise Solar under a state grant; the package passed on a roll-call vote.
At its monthly meeting the Wicomico County Board of Education approved a consent agenda that bundled personnel items, policy approvals, procurement, and budget transfers.
Chair Malone summarized consent items that were included in the package: personnel matters (5.1); policies from the July 29 work session (5.2); Benlogic employee health-and-wellness software (5.3); a 72-seat diesel school bus purchase via another county's cooperative purchasing arrangement at a cost of about $146,000 (5.4); a solar contract for East Salisbury Elementary awarded to Sunrise Solar under a State of Maryland grant (5.5); and budget transfers (5.6), three of which require county council approval because they relate to expansion of alternative-education purposes. The board approved the consent items by roll-call vote; the chair recorded all votes as aye.
The consent-vote approval moves these items forward for implementation or additional steps as noted (for example, the transfers that require county council sign-off). No public comment or separate debate on these consent items was recorded in the transcript.
