Board appoints Dr. Janine Rose to regional cooperative and commits non-lapsing funds for smartboards and stage lighting RFP
Summary
The board appointed Dr. Janine Rose to the Eastern Connecticut Health and Medical Cooperative, approved up to $28,000 for interactive whiteboards from non-lapsing funds, and authorized up to $62,000 pending funds to match a $58,024 drip grant enabling up to $120,000 for stage lighting (RFP to follow).
The board moved to appoint Dr. Janine Rose to the Eastern Connecticut Health and Medical Cooperative; members congratulated her and noted she will attend a meeting the next day. The appointment motion was seconded and approved by voice vote.
Finance committee members reported $59,584 in uncommitted non-lapsing funds and an end-of-year projection of approximately $148,630. The district received an initial drip grant of $58,024 intended for stage lighting; a second payment is not expected until the following spring. The board approved a motion to allocate up to $28,000 from the non-lapsing account for interactive whiteboards and later moved to authorize up to $62,000 from non-lapsing to match the $58,024 drip grant so that, when combined, up to $120,000 would be available for stage lighting. Board members asked that an RFP process be initiated and that funding approval be contingent on available non-lapsing funds and RFP results.
Members also flagged interest in exploring baseball/softball facilities funding and agreed to bring back proposals. The motions were recorded, seconded and passed by voice vote in the meeting transcript; the record shows some opposed and abstentions but does not provide complete tallies.
