Lapeer board approves e‑rate UPS replacement, adopts superintendent evaluation and approves assistant superintendent contracts
Summary
The board approved a recommendation to award a contract for new UPS equipment eligible for e-rate funding, held a closed session for the superintendent evaluation and adopted the evaluation results, and approved assistant superintendent contracts for HR and for instruction and curriculum.
The Lapeer Community Schools board approved a finance committee recommendation to purchase and install a new Eaton TripLife uninterruptible power supply (UPS) system and to award the contract to Delta. The agenda listed a total project cost of $101,838.44 with $95,161.67 noted as e‑rate eligible; the district’s reported responsibility was $25,709.10 plus a $10,183 contingency. Committee materials recommended Delta following an RFP process involving seven vendors and said the investment would improve network uptime and equipment protection.
During the meeting a board member moved to award the contract to Delta "not to exceed $25,709.10 plus the $10,183 contingency," and the motion was supported. Committee members noted that the e‑rate program would cover eligible costs and that the district’s out‑of‑pocket portion would be limited to the amounts listed in the materials.
Separately, the board moved into a closed session to conduct the superintendent’s evaluation under the authority cited in the meeting agenda and later returned to open session. The board reported the superintendent’s performance components (policy and governance; district student growth) and stated the overall rating as "effective." The board then adopted the final resolution approving the superintendent’s year‑end evaluation.
The board also approved contracts for two assistant superintendent positions: assistant superintendent for human resources and assistant superintendent for instruction and curriculum. Motions to adopt those contracts were made and supported during open session.
What the record shows: motions were made and supported on the UPS procurement, the superintendent evaluation resolution and the assistant superintendent contracts. The meeting materials include the line‑item figures above; the board did not reconcile an arithmetic discrepancy between some line items and the total project cost listed in the agenda packet during the meeting.
Next steps: The procurement and personnel approvals were adopted as presented; implementation details (purchase orders, contract execution and staffing start dates) were not specified in the public record at the meeting.
