Eunice school board approves series of purchases, facility projects and a county donation
Summary
The Eunice Municipal Schools Board approved multiple procurement and facility projects — including a bus camera installation, teacher laptop replacements, playground equipment and a bathroom/laundry renovation for special‑needs classrooms — and accepted a $12,000 Lee County donation for digital building mapping.
The Eunice Municipal Schools Board voted unanimously during its meeting to approve a package of purchases and facility projects, accept a county donation for building mapping and renew its annual special‑education grant application.
Board members approved a state-funded $2,500 camera installation for a school bus, which staff said is optional but recommended "to protect the student, it protects the school district." The board also approved allocating a small operations increase noted in the record as 119,810 for district operations.
The board accepted a $12,000 donation from Lee County to pay ARC Strategic to digitally map district buildings as part of a countywide initiative. Staff described the mapping as a county-coordinated project that will cover all school districts in Lee County.
On technology, the board approved replacing 90 teacher laptops. The transcript records the quoted cost as "149,000850," which appears garbled in the record; the amount was discussed and the motion carried.
For outdoor recreation, the board approved a $222,733 equipment quote to add a two‑bay swing set (including two ADA swings) and safety surfacing, presented by Director of Operations Drew Reynolds, who said the equipment will match existing playground colors and include additional play elements. The board separately approved a labor contract with BCL Enterprises for installation; the labor amount in the record appears as "99,85.17" (transcription unclear).
The board also moved and approved routine items including the approval of minutes and monthly bills.
Votes were recorded by roll call with the attending board members recorded in the meeting record as Mr. Ko, Mr. Pender, Miss Han and Mr. Cavo (the transcript spells the last name variably as Cavo/Cavalera/Cavaler/Cabler). No opposed votes were shown for these items.
Ending: The package of approvals clears funding and next steps for the projects; staff will proceed with contracting and implementation according to the vendor timelines presented.
