Summary

The Stanton County Unified School District #452 Board of Education on March 11 approved a series of facility, safety and technology purchases that together amount to roughly $198,770.
The board approved two grouped motions covering HVAC, door and gym work, classroom furniture, security cameras and communications equipment. In the first motion (moved by Bret Kendrick, seconded by Bobbie Ehrlich), the board approved ACC’s bid for south-side HVAC units and Ted’s Plumbing to install the gas line, Kinney Glass for elementary door replacements, 24 desks and chairs, a three‑gym floor recoating by Koehn Courts and a $6,000 allocation to the band department — a package the minutes record as totaling $123,471.54. The motion carried 6-0.
A second motion (moved by Paige German, seconded by Bret Kendrick) approved Alert Alarm Company quotes to upgrade the camera recorder ($19,843.00) and the district’s All-Call speaker system ($19,529.52), a PA/elementary gym speaker ($4,710.00), and a CST/Charter School Tech purchase of 26 desktop computers for art and business labs. The minutes show the combined total for that motion as $75,299.16 and the motion carried 6-0.
District staff also presented competing bids that informed the approvals: JCI quoted $111,472 and ACC quoted $94,450 for HVAC units; Ted’s Plumbing quoted $9,500 for gas-line work; gym refinishing quotes included Marc at $11,935 and Koehn at $10,000; a weather station repair was quoted at $7,907. Craig, a district presenter of facilities bids, also noted a $8,690 quote for kitchen/gym doors and a $4,331.54 quote for 24 desks and chairs.
The minutes contain an inconsistent pair of line items for the CST computer quote: a $31,453.64 figure appears in a presented quote, while the motion lists $31,216.64 for the CST line. The board record does not explain the discrepancy in the minutes; the district should be asked to confirm the final invoice amount and funding source before payment is issued.
All motions authorizing spending were unanimous. The minutes do not specify which fund(s) will cover each purchase.
Next steps in the minutes: staff will proceed with contracting and scheduling installation; the board did not record additional conditions or contingency approvals in the public minutes.
