Summary
The Jordan School District Board unanimously instructed staff to solicit separated and combined bids for sound and lighting at Elkridge Middle School auditorium so the board can select appropriate scope once prices and other summer‑project bids are known.
On Jan. 26 the Jordan School District Board authorized staff to go out to bid for sound and lighting improvements at Elkridge Middle School, citing the auditorium’s frequent district‑level use and outdated equipment.
Facilities committee members said the auditorium’s lighting and sound no longer function adequately. "They don't work the way that they should," a facilities representative told the board, and staff recommended bidding both sound and lighting together for efficiency while offering separable options so the board may accept one scope if needed.
The motion to solicit bids was made by Bryce Dunford and seconded by Brian Barnett. Board members discussed timing and budget priorities; staff said the design-and‑bid timeline will return numbers to the board after other summer projects are priced so projects can be reprioritized without displacing previously approved items.
The board voted and the motion passed unanimously. Staff will return with bid results and options for the board to approve, defer or select partial scopes.
