The superintendent said licensing reviewers required a fixed sink (a portable sink was not sufficient) for preschool licensing; Bright Beginnings director Nicole Gate identified a plumbing access point and proposed installing a stainless-steel sink and countertop. He said Gate expects to pay for the work using redirected grant funds and that the proposal was "under $3,000."

The board approved a room-rental contract with Nicole Gate (Bright Beginnings) to formalize use of the space. The superintendent described the plumbing solution as a value add for the district that would not cost district funds. The action was taken on the consent agenda and passed by voice vote.
