Board reviews contracts for prom venue, temporary psychology services and facility work; approves student trip and seating purchase
Summary
The board reviewed several contract items including a prom venue booking at Honey Hill ($26,360.38), a temporary school psychologist contract with Bright Path Psychology LLC ($95/hour, up to $31,000), and Capital Aluminum window replacement ($66,000); it approved the Model U.N. trip (Apr. 9–12, 2026) at $410 per student and a $15,900 seating purchase.
Board members reviewed multiple operational contracts and routine purchases during the Feb. 9 meeting.
Prom venue: The board discussed a contract to reserve Honey Hill for the 2027 prom (event date listed in contract as 04/24/2027) with a contract amount of $26,360.38. Members noted Honey Hill is a new venue (not yet open this spring), discussed location logistics and transportation implications, and confirmed that the district’s insurance covers school‑sponsored events and meets standard minimums for vendor requirements.
Temporary psychologist services: The district presented a contract with Bright Path Psychology LLC to provide services during a long‑term absence in the school psychologist position. The contract terms in the meeting state $95 per hour for up to 14 hours per week, not to exceed $31,000, and staff confirmed the arrangement is for the remainder of the school year.
Facilities work: A Capital Aluminum contract for $66,000 was presented to replace 16 windows (8 openings) in the Maintenance and Tech building; staff said the work had been planned in the forecast and that wood framing around windows had decayed in some locations.
Student trip and equipment: The board approved a student Model U.N. trip to Northwestern University scheduled for Apr. 9–12, 2026 at $410 per student and the purchase of 100 Martin public seating chairs with transport/dollies for $15,900. Trustees discussed transportation options (school bus vs. charter) and noted collective bargaining considerations if bus drivers or district buses are used.
What the board decided: The student trip and seating purchase were moved and seconded and recorded as approved by roll call. Several contract items were presented as part of the financial/consent review; the consent agenda including grants and contracts was approved later in the meeting.
