Board approves purchase of mobile air‑conditioning units for charter classrooms
Summary
The board approved an agreement to purchase Spot Cooler mobile air-conditioning units for charter school classrooms; staff said the units match previously deployed spring‑break deliveries and charters have been consulted about plans and scheduling.
The Redwood City School Board voted May 14 to approve the purchase of mobile air‑conditioning units (Spot Cooler) for charter school classrooms. Staff said the units match the temporary mobile units previously approved and delivered during spring break and that charter operators have been briefed on the plan.
Presenters said there was not yet a fixed delivery schedule; the district is ordering units to match earlier equipment. A board member who had toured a charter site asked staff to ‘‘close the loop’’ with charter school leaders so they understand delivery timing. Board members discussed prior district analysis of leasing versus purchasing and said the purchase follows criteria and commitments tied to Measure S.
A motion to approve the agreement was made, seconded and approved by voice vote; the transcript records a voice tally but not individual roll‑call votes. Staff said charters have participated in planning and that final delivery timing will be coordinated with charter sites.
