Malcolm board approves environmental sensors for junior/senior high, authorizes vehicle purchase and declares damaged lights excess
Summary
The Malcolm Public Schools board unanimously approved installation of environmental sensors in the Jr./Sr. High School, authorized up to $40,000 to replace a 2007 student-transport vehicle and declared damaged football field light poles excess property at its Sept. 15 meeting.
The Board of Education, School District #148, voted unanimously on Sept. 15 to approve several operational items focused on safety and facilities.
Ed Swotek moved and Tera Heidtbrink seconded a motion to approve a proposal to install environmental sensors in the Junior/Senior High School; Principal Simon Wiedel explained to the Board that the sensors are designed to alert staff to various safety and security situations. The motion passed on a roll-call vote with all six members voting in favor.
The Board also approved a motion to expend up to $40,000 to purchase a school vehicle for student transportation, replacing a 2007 Suburban cited as nearing the end of its useful life and subject to forthcoming federal vehicle restrictions. Lucas Mitchell moved the motion and William England seconded; the motion passed unanimously.
In addition, the Board deemed damaged football field light poles excess property after a motion by Tera Heidtbrink, seconded by Amy Spellman; that motion also passed on a unanimous roll call. The District Safety and Security Plan was reviewed at the meeting but the Board took no formal action on that plan at this time.
No implementation dates or vendor names for the sensors or vehicle purchase were specified in the minutes; follow-up and procurement will be handled by district administration.
