Bradford board spotlights students; approves modest purchases and a greenhouse ventilation change order
Summary
The board recognized student spotlights, approved donations and small capital purchases (including 12 cafeteria tables funded by a BWC grant), approved a demolition/restoration of old bleachers, authorized a greenhouse ventilation change order and voted to enter executive session; a school bus safety grant of $81.91 was recorded in the minutes.
At its February meeting (exact date not specified in the transcript), the Bradford Exempted Village Board of Education recognized four students in its monthly student spotlight and voted on several routine operational items, including purchases and a change order.
Administrative presenters introduced Aurora Mead, Lucas Walker, Aubrey Austin and Kat Maynard as the month’s student spotlights and read nominations from classroom teachers highlighting work habits and character. “This is the best part of the of the month,” one presenter said while calling students up for recognition.
The treasurer summarized the financial consent items and grants for board approval. Items listed for approval included several donations, acceptance of a school bus safety grant recorded in the minutes as $81.91, the auditor contract, and the purchase of 12 cafeteria tables sourced through a BWC grant. The board also reviewed a plan to demolish old bleachers and restore the adjacent lot to grass; administrators said the space will be returned to open turf and used for parking and site improvements.
Under new business the board discussed calendar finalization, adding an Eastern civilization class and a revised seventh/eighth‑grade theater offering, purchasing replacement materials and buying a video intercom system so secretaries can view a visitor camera directly at the buzzer station. Presenters described the intercom as a cost‑effective way to allow the office staff to see visitors at the front door camera.
The board approved a change order to increase automated ventilation in the greenhouse after a second review recommended additional work; a motion to approve was moved, seconded and carried. The chair then moved to enter executive session; a roll call was taken and the chair stated no formal actions were expected after the executive session on the 27th.
Next steps: the treasurer said he would place the full forecast and presentation on the district website and the board proceeded into executive session.
