Board accepts donation of audio equipment from SAU employee Dean Clegg
Summary
The board accepted a $3,267.64 donation of audio equipment from SAU employee Dean Clegg—amplifiers, speakers and related gear—with installation contingent on purchase of safety hardware and completion of maintenance preparations.
The East Kingston Elementary School Board accepted a donation of audio equipment from Dean Clegg, an SAU employee and former business partner, to support school performances and multipurpose‑room sound.
Speaker 4 detailed the equipment Dean Clegg offered: two QSC PLX amplifiers ($476 each), an ATA flight rack ($119), cabling and cords ($200), two Electro‑Voice 5x300 speakers for the stage ($379.60 each) and four Electro‑Voice wall speakers (totaling $2,093.04 in the presenter’s itemization). Speaker 4 gave a combined value of $3,267.64 and noted the district would need to buy safety mounting hardware and make minor purchases so the elevator/room layout accommodates the amplifier rack and wall‑mounted speakers. "He's donating really high high end technology equipment for us... it's a wonderful donation," Speaker 4 said.
Board members asked whether the donation was personal property and about installation assistance; Speaker 4 explained the equipment was from the donor’s former business and that Dean Clegg expected to assist with installation, potentially over February break if the board approved. Speaker 2 moved to accept the donation; Speaker 1 seconded and the motion was recorded as approved with vocal 'Aye' responses.
Next steps: maintenance will estimate costs for required safety hardware and plan installation; staff will report back with any needed purchases and schedule details.
