Altoona Area SD board approves $14,835 change order for Logan Elementary window upgrades
Summary
The board approved a $14,835 change order from contractor JC Orrinson to upgrade 726 square feet of glass at Logan Elementary to insulated glass; administration said the upgrade improves safety and is within the contingency previously approved by the board.
The Altoona Area School District board approved a $14,835 change order to upgrade 726 square feet of glass at Logan Elementary during the special meeting.
Administration requested approval of a change order from contractor JC Orrinson to replace 726 square feet of glass in the Logan Elementary window replacement project with insulated glass. The transcript records the cost of the change order as $14,835 and states it is within the contingency amount the board approved in November 2025.
A presenter said the item had been discussed in facilities and in a previous executive session because it related to safety and security, and added that the insulation upgrade “will be a better way to complete the project, but it's also... less expensive.”
The Chair sought a motion to approve item 4a; the board approved the change order by voice vote and the Chair announced, “Motion carries.” The transcript records only a voice vote; no individual roll-call tallies were recorded.
Next steps: the facilities department will proceed with the upgrade under the approved change order.
