Board approves facility contracts, curriculum course and policy updates; several items tabled for follow-up
Summary
At its April 15 meeting the Three Rivers board approved an HVAC-controller procurement exemption, awarded a bleacher replacement contract, adopted a new Sports Statistics elective, approved several policy second readings and set a follow-up review of a school-based health contract.
The Three Rivers School District board took a series of administrative votes on April 15, approving several contracts and administrative matters while tabling a controversial health-provider contract for further review.
Key approvals - Schneider Electric controllers: The board authorized an exemption from competitive bidding to standardize Schneider Electric controllers for HVAC upgrades tied to a Renew America Schools grant. The exemption will allow procurement of controllers and spare parts to support HVAC modernization projects. - Vitus Construction contract: The board awarded a contract to Vitus Construction for replacement of the unsafe North Valley bleachers; boosters have raised funds and components are staged for installation. - Sports Statistics course: The board approved a new elective course, Sports Statistics (algebra prerequisite), to teach probability and statistics through sports-related examples; the course will be offered if sufficient student enrollment is received. - Policy second readings: Trustees approved a package of second-reading policies. One debate focused on the use of the word "equitable"; after discussion the board approved the policy language as written.
Items tabled - Syscue (school-based health center) contract: Trustees voted to table the contract and requested staff gather written public comments and authoritative guidance on SBHC certification requirements prior to a future vote.
Votes at a glance: Many motions were adopted by voice vote as recorded in the meeting. Where roll-call tallies were not transcribed, the minutes record outcomes as approved or tabled by board action.
Next steps: Staff will implement awarded contracts and prepare procurement/installation schedules; the superintendent’s office will compile requested legal and program documentation for the Syscue contract and present it at the next regular meeting.
