Board approves $199,338 band uniform purchase for Parkland High School
Summary
Trustees approved a $199,338.50 contract with G2 Performance LLC to purchase new marching band uniforms (including all‑weather jackets); supporters framed the cost using per‑student comparisons to older uniforms and inflation.
The board approved Item 10.03, authorizing the district to pay $199,338.50 to G2 Performance LLC for Parkland High School marching band uniforms, including all‑weather jackets for student use.
Committee chair Wilcox defended the purchase by comparing per‑student costs with historical purchases, saying the figure equates to about "$7.25 per student" when spread across the expected service life and student count. Trustees moved the motion, received a second and approved the purchase by voice vote. Supporters emphasized durability and student comfort for parades and outdoor events as reasons for jackets being included.
