District finance director details repair, technology and textbook purchases totaling hundreds of thousands
Summary
The finance presentation outlined steady financials, construction phases at multiple schools and procurement requests including $214,590 for STEM materials, $68,064 for AP Environmental Science books, a $54,840 transformer replacement (insured minus a $5,000 deductible) and up to $380,000 for interactive flat panels.
A district finance director told the board the March financial statements show no notable outliers and provided a construction update: Central High School is in phase 4 of 9 and multiple renovation projects at other schools will begin over the summer.
The director listed several recommended purchases and funding notes: Project Lead The Way materials for JK–6 with an amount transcribed as $214,590 from the general fund; AP Environmental Science textbooks and online materials for all three high schools transcribed as $68,064; replacement of a storm‑damaged transformer at Forest Hills Eastern with a vendor price transcribed as $54,840 (the district expects insurance to reimburse minus a $5,000 deductible); and a request to purchase 65 interactive flat panels for Northern High not to exceed $380,000 from 2025 capital projects.
The director also described a Chartwells food service contract renewal with a pre‑negotiated 3% increase and an estimated audit cost of about $69,000 for next year’s audit provider. Board members did not raise extended questions during this portion of the meeting.
