Summary
Trustees approved the Filter First proposal: $88,430 from the Filter First grant plus $47,870 from the general fund to replace bubblers not covered by the grant; all school drinking fountains will be updated with new filters.
The Dundee Community Schools Board approved the Filter First proposal on Nov. 10, authorizing replacement of drinking-water filtration in district facilities. The project cost is $88,430 from the Filter First grant with an additional $47,870 charged to the district general fund to cover bubblers that grant rules did not allow.
Board members discussed that all drinking fountains will be updated with new filters and that the extra $47,870 covers classroom bubblers excluded from the grant scope. The motion, made by Carol Reaume and seconded by Kimberly Wilkins, passed 6'0to'0.
The board's action authorizes facilities staff to proceed with procurement and installation under the stated funding split; further implementation details and timelines were not specified in the meeting minutes.
