Board approves consent agenda including several construction awards; two approvals are conditional
Loading...
Summary
The Princeton Board of Education voted to approve consent items including five construction-related awards (two conditional because of pending paperwork or legal stays), an HVAC award, a conditional solar purchase agreement, summer-school details, and personnel retirements.
During its special meeting the Princeton Board of Education approved the consent agenda by roll-call vote, moving forward on multiple referendum-related contracts and other district business.
Chair reviewed the action items before the vote: award of contract for the Princeton High School renovation; conditional authorization for Princeton Middle School additions and renovations (the non‑winning bidder contested the result and an appeals court issued an emergency stay); Little Brook additions and renovations; award for HVAC equipment replacement at Princeton High School (the lowest bidder failed to meet bonding requirements, so the district is taking the next compliant bid); and a solar purchase agreement that is conditional pending state paperwork.
The board also approved summer-school programming (five weeks for a $250 participation fee for high-school credit recovery) and acknowledged several personnel retirements, singling out Susan McGreevey (administrative assistant to the superintendent) and Little Brook principal Luis Ramirez. Dr. Lasusa said the district posted the Little Brook principal opening, received 47 applicants and planned an initial screening of about 20 candidates to create a slate for interviews.
Board members voted by roll call; the motion passed. Chair later moved to send certain matters to closed session; that motion was seconded and adopted before the meeting recessed into closed session at 8:13 p.m.
Several approvals were noted as conditional: the middle school authorization is contingent on removal of the emergency stay; the solar purchase is contingent on final state paperwork. Administration told the board it does not expect further issues but will proceed only when conditions are satisfied.
