Thompson Board of Education approves emergency repair, equipment purchases from non‑lapsing funds
Summary
The Thompson Board of Education unanimously approved amending prior generator repair funding to $28,000 (including $2,800 for battery backup) and authorized up to $76,000 for an emergency truck with plow and sander, both funded from non‑lapsing accounts.
The Thompson Board of Education voted unanimously Oct. 15 to authorize emergency repairs and equipment purchases using district non‑lapsing funds.
A motion by Justin Yong, seconded by Kristin Schultz, amended a July 11 board motion to allocate a total of $28,000 from the new non‑lapsing account for generator repair and a maintenance agreement, including $2,800 dedicated to battery backup. The board recorded the motion as passed unanimously.
Later in the meeting, a motion by Justin Yong, seconded by Jessica Bolte, approved an emergency purchase not to exceed $76,000 for a truck equipped with a plow and sander to be paid from the 2024 non‑lapsing account. The motion passed unanimously.
Board minutes do not record extended debate; the motions were moved, seconded and recorded as passing. The agenda also shows a prior, related special‑meeting allotment (up to $25,633) that was amended as part of the generator funding action to reflect the updated total.
No further detail on vendors, procurement timeline or delivery dates was recorded in the minutes. The board adjourned at 9:01 p.m.
