Board approves $43,434 purchase of mechatronics equipment; DPI grant covers $30,000
Summary
The Williams Bay School District approved buying Amatrol hydraulics and mechatronics learning systems for $43,434; a $30,000 DPI grant will cover most of the cost, the board was told.
The Williams Bay School District board on July 22 approved purchasing Amatrol hydraulics and mechatronics learning systems and related items at a total cost of $43,434.
Dr. White told the board that Jacob White had written a $30,000 grant to the Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction that the district received; the grant will cover $30,000 of the equipment cost and the district will pay the remainder. Because the purchase exceeded the board's approval threshold, board action was required before procurement. A board member moved to approve the purchase and the motion passed by voice vote.
Board members praised the program as a valuable hands‑on career and technical education resource for students.
