Board member requests about $18,000 for football helmet safety equipment
Summary
At the July 14 meeting, Board Member Zach Mader asked the district to buy additional football helmet safety equipment at an estimated cost of around $18,000; no motion or vote was recorded on the request.
During the superintendent's report and closing discussion at the July 14, 2025 Northwest Public Schools Board of Education meeting, board member Zach Mader asked that the district purchase additional safety equipment for the football helmets. Mader said the total cost would be around $18,000. The transcript records no motion, second, vote or any staff directive tied to the request.
The meeting record provides no detail on what specific equipment would be purchased, how the cost was estimated, or what department or funding source would cover the expense. The request was raised before Chair Dan Leiser adjourned the meeting at 8:11 p.m.
Because the transcript does not show any formal action, the request remains a topic for potential future discussion rather than an approved expenditure.
