Board approves Northern High door replacement, Yacht Glades playground and calendar revision
Summary
At its May 12 meeting the Garrett County Board of Education approved contracts for a Northern Garrett High School door replacement and Yacht Glades Elementary playground (both grant-funded), accepted the consent agenda, and approved a revision to the FY27 school calendar identifying inclement-weather makeup days.
The Garrett County Board of Education approved several action items during its May 12 public meeting.
Procurement approvals - Northern Garrett High School doors: The board approved awarding the door replacement contract to Carl Belt Incorporated for $24,600. The project is covered primarily by a $200,000 school safety and security grant; any small remaining balance was assigned to the maintenance budget per the superintendent's recommendation.
- Yacht Glades Elementary playground: The board approved awarding the playground and accessible-path work to Sparks at Play for $111,534.61. Board discussion noted the project is fully covered by a Green Space Equity Program grant.
Calendar and consent - The board approved a revision to the FY27 school calendar recommended by the calendar committee. The revision identifies inclement-weather makeup days (in order of use: President's Day, March 30 the Tuesday after Easter, and March 29) and adjusts the end-of-year dates so June 4 is the last day for students with a three-hour early dismissal and June 7 the final day for teachers where possible.
- The board also approved the meeting agenda and the consent agenda earlier in the session; motions to move and second those items were recorded in the public minutes.
No formal dissenting votes were recorded in the public transcript for these items; motions were made and the chair declared each item approved as presented.
The door and playground contracts will proceed to implementation under district procurement and grant-administration procedures.
