Board approves nearly $680,000 in classroom furniture and capital projects for stadium heater and marquees
Summary
Keystone Oaks directors approved a $678,941.68 classroom-furniture purchase and capital projects including a $91,723 stadium heater replacement and up to $62,574 for two electronic marquees, all to be paid from capital funds.
The Keystone Oaks School District board approved multiple capital expenditures during its regular meeting, including a $678,941.68 purchase for classroom furniture, funding for a stadium domestic water-heating system replacement and two electronic marquees for school campuses.
The board voted to approve the furniture purchase to support instructional design in grades 3 through 5 (including special education, ESL and Title I). Members asked staff to provide schematics showing layout and deployment of the new furniture; administration said the purchase is included in the capital plan.
Buildings, Grounds and Transportation reported to the board that the stadium's domestic water heating system will be replaced by Hockenstein Mechanical at a cost not to exceed $91,723, funded from the capital budget. The board also approved purchase and installation of two electronic marquees from FASTSIGNS — one for the middle school and one for the high school — at a combined cost not to exceed $62,574, also from capital funds. Board members discussed placement, permitting and sight-line considerations and were told the vendor has prior experience obtaining permits in neighboring communities.
All three capital items were approved by voice vote. Facilities staff were asked to return a schematic for the furniture and to coordinate marquee installation, wiring and permitting.
The board's capital approvals follow the district's broader planning discussion: administrators said an elementary capital study is expected early next school year and will inform future large-scale facility investments.
