Board presented with consent items including curriculum subscriptions and capital contracts; roll call recorded
Summary
Board members reviewed a set of consent and finance items including a Connected Mathematics Project subscription (~$49,350), a proposed $250,000 addition to a Parkway Electric contract, a one-year snow-removal extension ($292,065), paving and furniture purchases, and audited financial statements; a roll call was called but the transcript does not include a full final tally.
Board leadership presented a package of consent and finance items to the Forest Hills Board of Education at the Oct. 13 meeting, including curriculum materials, contract amendments and capital purchases.
A one-year Connected Mathematics Project subscription to support grades 6-8 was described as costing an amount to exceed $49,350 from the general fund while curricular review proceeds. The board also heard a request to amend the Parkway Electric and Communications contract by adding an amount not to exceed $250,000 to place additional support in sites not originally included (Fine Arts Center, Aquatic Center, transportation and staff areas). A one-year extension for snow removal with Kayberg Verde was presented with an amount not to exceed $292,065 from the general fund, and a paving contract for A1 Asphalt Inc. to repave a construction storage area was listed at a low bid not to exceed $80,100 from 2023 capital projects.
Other items included furniture purchases for the Forest Hills Central media center (not to exceed $101,170 from the 2025 capital projects fund), a refunded property tax payment at Kent County for $76,971.42, and presentation of the audited financial statements. The finance presenter told the board the district ended the fiscal year with a fund balance from June 2025 of about 21% of annual expenditures and that the audit opinion was unmodified.
A motion to approve consent review items was moved and seconded; later the board called for a roll call vote and the transcript records at least one recorded vote ("Mrs. Treying, yes"). The provided transcript extract does not show a complete roll-call tally or an explicit final outcome for the consent package, so the article reports what was presented and the partial roll call as recorded in the meeting text.
