Board approves $49,484 purchase of folding lunch tables from depreciation reserve
Summary
Trustees approved using depreciation reserve funds to buy folding lunch tables for a middle school at a cost of $49,483.94; administrators said the reserve balance is roughly $2.7 million and the purchase will ease operations and reduce staff labor.
The Fremont County School District # 1 board voted to approve a request to draw from the depreciation reserve account to purchase folding lunch tables for a middle school.
The Chair introduced the request and noted the purchase price: $49,483.94. The administration explained the current tables require many chairs to be moved and are time‑consuming for staff to manage; new tables would fold up as one unit and reduce daily labor and noise during meal transitions.
The Chair said the depreciation reserve account contains approximately $2,700,000, making the purchase a relatively small draw on the balance. The motion passed by voice vote with no recorded roll‑call tally provided in the transcript.
Board members and administrators described the change as a quality‑of‑life and operational improvement for lunch duty and custodial workload.
