Bermudian Springs board approves multi‑year IT contract, new security vendor and personnel appointments; Family First MOA tabled
Summary
The board approved a five‑year managed‑technology extension with Appalachia Technology, a security contract with GeForce Investigations LLC and several routine personnel and program agreements; the Family First mobile‑dentist MOA was tabled for corrections.
At its May meeting the Bermudian Springs School Board approved several vendor contracts and routine personnel and program items. The board voted to extend managed‑technology services with Appalachia Technology for five years, effective July 1, 2025, and approved a one‑year security services contract with GeForce Investigations LLC for 2025–26. Both motions carried after the customary roll‑call/voice confirmations.
Superintendent Dr. Brad Sterner explained memoranda of understanding and agreements coming before the board, including an annual MOU allowing a small daycare to use the elementary building as an emergency evacuation site; the board approved that MOU after Dr. Sterner described notification and capacity checks required before activation.
The board also approved routine procurement items such as LIU supply bids, district art supplies and the Adams County Technical Institute (ACTI) operating budget. Bus and van driver hires for the 2024–25 year (two named individuals) were approved by voice vote.
One MOA — with Family First (the district’s mobile‑dentist provider) — was tabled after Dr. Sterner and a board member flagged errors and incorrect dates in the draft. The board voted to table the Family First MOA and asked administration to return a corrected agreement at the June meeting.
Superintendent also introduced Ronald (Ron) Wales as the district’s new director of curriculum; the board welcomed him. The board elected Ruth Griffey as school board treasurer for the 2025–26 school year after a nomination and voice vote.
What happens next: Administration will finalize contract documents for execution (Appalachia Technology extension and GeForce security contract), correct and re-present the Family First MOA in June, and complete onboarding and record updates for the newly elected treasurer and new director of curriculum.
Ending: The board adjourned after completing the agenda and brief discussion about printing district calendars with QR codes linking to live athletics schedules to reduce errors.
