Summary

The board approved a state‑contract furniture quote of $91,843.44 for initial furnishing of three classrooms, offices, reception and a conference room at the Seed Academy, with staff noting some rooms were left unfurnished now to avoid unused purchases.

Staff presented a furniture quote for the Seed Academy totaling $91,843.44 from a vendor on the state price contract list for three classrooms, offices, reception, conference and administrative spaces. Staff said they limited purchases to rooms that will be used now and left some classrooms unfurnished to avoid buying items that might remain idle until utilization increased.

Staff told the board the vendor has been used previously and has a strong warranty and customer service record. The board moved and voted to approve the furniture purchase as presented.

Note: the transcript contains inconsistent vendor spellings in the meeting record; the board packet lists a state‑contract vendor and the district confirmed the supplier is on the state contract list before procurement.
