District orders 13 school‑zone beacons, adds resource officers; administration to rebid food‑service contract
Summary
Superintendent Dr. Schultz told the board the district has ordered 13 school‑zone beacon lights, will add two resource officers to reach five elementary liaisons, and that administration must rebid the food‑service management contract ahead of its July 1 start date.
The Bedford Public Schools superintendent announced a series of operational and safety steps at the board’s organizational meeting.
Dr. Schultz said the district has ordered 13 school‑zone beacon lights and radar signs; delivery is expected in roughly three to four weeks and installation is planned as weather and staff schedules allow, with the superintendent anticipating completion by mid‑spring. He also said the district has hired two additional resource officers to expand coverage to five full school‑liaison officers at the elementary level, with those officers expected to begin work in the second semester.
Chrissy in the business office reported that the district must rebid its food‑service management contract, which has been renewed the maximum number of times; the current arrangement runs through June and the new contract would begin July 1. The business office will start the lengthy rebid process soon.
Board members did not oppose the announcements; actions requiring board approval (banks, signatures, officer elections) were handled earlier in the meeting. Administration was directed to proceed with procurement steps for the food‑service rebid and to implement the authorized signature changes for bank accounts.
