Board signs off on LED sign, SmartSub subscription and other routine procurements
Summary
Trustees approved purchase of an 8mm LED sign for the middle school ($14,735), an annual SmartSub subscription ($9,000), and other memoranda of understanding for pre‑K/Head Start sites; staff said multiple quotes were obtained and no bids were required for the sign.
The Connellsville Area School District board approved several routine procurement and subscription items including an 8mm LED outdoor sign for the middle school ($14,735) and an annual SmartSub substitute‑management subscription for $9,000.
Staff said the LED sign will be paid from the middle school equipment budget and that multiple quotes had been obtained, so formal bidding was not required. Trustees asked whether the new sign would fit existing mounting and electrical hookups and whether it required Wi‑Fi; staff said they would confirm dimensions and installation details before the next meeting.
On technology for human‑resources operations, an administrator explained that SmartSub will integrate with existing district software and replace a separate call‑in system, yielding about $9,000 in cost savings compared with prior processes.
The board also approved memoranda of understanding for pre‑K/Head Start operations with regional providers for 2026–27; one MOU cited an annual payment to the district of $46,980 to be paid in monthly installments.
What happens next: staff will verify installation requirements for the LED sign and proceed with contracting for SmartSub and the MOUs as placed on the agenda.
