Board approves change order for track work; pool operational and HVAC on schedule, IT vendor switch recommended

The Southeast Fountain School Corporation Board approved change order number 2 with Burnham Jones Construction on May 14 for additional track and field improvements at Fountain Central Jr.-Sr. High School tied to the previously approved track renovation project. The amount cited in the meeting transcript was unclear — the recorder reported the value as "in the amount of 98,000 to $850" — and the district did not read a corrected figure during the meeting.

A facilities update (speaker 4) reported the pool is operational and the program has started practices; the pool’s first scheduled meet is on the 30th of the month. HVAC work was reported as on track for completion by the start of the 2026–27 school year, with August 1 named as the target date. Remaining track and field work is scheduled to begin after school ends and the track season is complete.

On procurement, administrators explained a prior vendor that had received the district’s February purchase order for student and staff devices delayed processing the order and then proposed to sell the devices at a higher price. The IT director (speaker 5) said staff obtained three other quotes and recommended purchasing devices from Traferra as a replacement; the board approved the quote by voice vote.

The board approved the construction change order and the procurement recommendations as consent agenda items during the meeting. The transcript includes the approvals but does not show a roll‑call tally or provide a corrected dollar amount for the change order; the unclear amount is noted here verbatim from the transcript.
