Summary
The Arlington School Board approved textbook adoptions for grades 9'012 and authorized a $103,495 purchase of EcoStruxure energy-management hardware for Arlington Elementary School, with staff noting a short-term price savings by buying before a planned December increase.
At its meeting, the Arlington School Board approved two business items: textbook adoptions for grades 9'012 and a $103,495 purchase of DDC material for an EcoStruxure energy-management hardware refresh at Arlington Elementary School.
Superintendent Dr. Clark asked the board to approve the textbook adoption committee's recommendations for lifetime wellness, advanced manufacturing and information technology aligned with district policy 4.401. "Do I have a motion to approve?" the chair asked; Miss Barnes moved the motion and it was seconded. The board approved the adoption by voice vote.
The board also voted to purchase EcoStruxure DDC material from Mechanical Automated Control Systems Inc. for $103,495. Clark explained materials prices were scheduled to increase on Dec. 7 and said purchasing before that date would save about 7%, approximately $7,000. The motion to approve the purchase was moved and seconded and the board approved it by voice vote.
Both items passed with the board's routine voice voting; no roll-call tallies were recorded in the transcript. Clark said installations for the energy-management upgrade are planned for spring break, with labor costs to follow the materials purchase.
The board adjourned shortly after the approvals.
