The District School Board of Collier County approved a large consent agenda and multiple policy updates during its Oct. 8 regular meeting.
Board members voted unanimously to adopt the consent agenda, which included project reconciliations, final completions and change orders for dozens of facilities projects across the district. Items approved covered restroom sink installations, acoustical-panel replacements, parking-lot lighting, cooling tower rebuilds, turf and track surface replacements, installation of portables infrastructure, and other facility work at schools including Golden Terrace, Lake Park, Laurel Oak, Marco Island Charter Middle School, Baron Collier High School, Naples High School, Palmetto Ridge High School and others. The board also approved several GMP direct material purchase and sales-tax reduction adjustments tied to audio-system replacements and athletic facility work.
On purchasing and services, the board approved districtwide contracts and quotes for engineered wood fiber, pressure cleaning, water-usage permitting and monitoring, and other maintenance and CTE-related purchases.
