Westwood board approves Sound Planning contract for auditorium audiovisual upgrade
Summary
On Feb. 25, 2026 the Westwood Community School District Board of Education unanimously approved a contract with Sound Planning to provide audiovisual equipment for the new auditorium after a presentation by J. Steiner; the board requested a rendition that Mr. Steiner agreed to email.
On Feb. 25, 2026, the Westwood Community School District Board of Education voted 6-0 to approve a proposal from Sound Planning to supply audiovisual equipment for the district's new auditorium. The special meeting was called to order by Board President Cheryl Bell at 6:02 p.m. at the Equilla Bradford Administrative Center in Dearborn Heights.
J. Steiner presented the recommendation to the board, saying the procurement followed a thorough process and that he was recommending Sound Planning to complete the needed work. Superintendent Dr. Stiles X. Simmons told trustees that the original assessment tied to the auditorium bond work did not include audiovisual equipment, which prompted the separate request to contract this scope of work.
Vice President Timothy Emery moved to approve the Sound Planning proposal, and Treasurer Roderick Means seconded. The motion passed unanimously, 6-0. Several trustees asked for a visual rendition of the proposed auditorium buildout; Mr. Steiner agreed to email a document to the board to fulfill that request.
The contract award, as presented to the board, did not include a published cost or implementation schedule in the meeting record. The board did not take additional formal votes on amendments or timeline at the special meeting; next procedural steps and start dates were not specified in the minutes.
