Board approves $35,420.72 cabinetry replacement at Norwein Middle School
Summary
The board authorized replacement cabinetry at Norwein Middle School costing $35,420.72 from Eastern Office Furniture; staff said the work relates to water-damage repairs that are being submitted to insurance as part of a larger reimbursement claim.
The Wayne County Board of Education approved a purchase to replace cabinetry at Norwein Middle School at its March 17, 2026 special meeting.
A staff member told the board that cabinetry across affected buildings at Norwein Middle School was damaged in a water leak and requires custom replacement. The staff member said Eastern Office Furniture would supply the custom cabinets for $35,420.72 and that lead time for the custom pieces is six to eight weeks.
On the question of payment, the staff member said the district is pursuing insurance reimbursement and expects that the cabinetry cost is part of an approximately $135,000 set of repairs being submitted to the insurer. The staff member also noted a $6,000 purchase for a reception desk and said setup and delivery were priced at $75 by the local vendor.
A board member moved to approve the cabinetry replacement; the motion was seconded and the chair announced the motion passed by hand-raise. The transcript does not record individual roll-call votes.
The purchase will proceed and staff will coordinate ordering and installation; the custom lead time means installation is expected several weeks after order placement.
