Westfield-Washington Schools board approves purchase of portable classrooms from Inmod
Summary
The Westfield-Washington Schools board approved buying portable classrooms from Inmod to place at Monon Trail Elementary and the district’s intermediate school to accommodate sixth-grade growth; the transcript records the purchase price as $1,037,309.
The Westfield-Washington Schools board approved the purchase of portable classrooms from Inmod to be installed at Monon Trail Elementary and the district’s intermediate school, the board agreed during its meeting.
Brian Kelly, the presenter for the item, said the units are a temporary measure to handle anticipated sixth-grade growth and to avoid repeated redistricting. "Our recommendation is that we approve the purchase of portable classrooms from Inmod," Kelly said.
The board’s chair moved to approve the purchase and a board member seconded. One board member said the units are not being used as "scare tactics" but to prevent having to redistrict multiple times before other permanent facilities come online. The board approved the motion by voice vote; the transcript records board members saying "Aye" and the chair announcing the motion passed. The transcript does not record individual vote tallies.
The transcript records the purchase price as $1,037,309; the speaker’s numeric phrasing in the record is inconsistent, and the amount above reflects the figure as stated during the presentation. The transcript does not include an installed timeline, vendor contract number, or funding source for the purchase.
Next steps were not specified in the record.
