Board signs off on several contracts and capital items, including insurance renewal and restroom remodel
Summary
Trustees approved a property/casualty insurance renewal (amended to reflect invoice amounts), a toilet-room remodeling bid for Webb and another building, Sonitrol access control at the high school, an e-rate procurement, a MacBook cost increase and a renewable classroom lease.
At the July 27 meeting the board approved a series of spending items and contracts across capital, technology and insurance categories.
Insurance: The board approved renewal of the district’s property and casualty coverage after discussion about invoice totals and a projected member credit; motion language was amended so the not-to-exceed amount reflected the invoice (discussion referenced $372,614 and a higher invoice amount around $390,240). Projected member refunds were noted as post-payment credits.
Capital and facilities: Trustees approved a remodeling bid for student restroom renovations at Webb and another building; following confusion over a transposed number the motion was amended to a corrected amount ($263,162.50) and carried. The board also approved adding Sonitrol access control for four new doors at Hazel Park High School (not to exceed $13,765) to secure hallways while preserving emergency egress.
Technology and procurement: Board approved a MacBook purchase cost increase (not to exceed $26,000) citing national supply shortages and potential trade-in offsets, and approved e-rate bid recommendations not to exceed $210,857.60 while staff awaits USAC approval. Trustees also approved a renewable lease to host a human services agency in five classrooms and an office at Webster Early Childhood Center.
Board discussion covered invoice math, potential refunds or credits, and ensuring project timing and vendor quotes were current before final expense recognition.
