Trustees debate cost and scope of perforated vinyl for high-school windows
Summary
Board discussed a vendor proposal to add perforated vinyl across high-school windows. Members praised the design but raised concerns about the quoted cost, weather timing and whether to scale back the number of windows or seek alternative options.
District leaders presented a proposal to apply perforated vinyl across many high-school windows as an aesthetic enhancement and to provide a branded look for the building.
The superintendent described the proposed design and said the same per-square-foot rate used at the junior high applied, but that ladder work for the high school adds cost. Several trustees supported the concept but raised concerns about the price and suggested getting alternative options or narrowing the scope. One board member summarized the trade-off: "If you do it, do it. If you don't, you don't," arguing the district should either proceed with a high-quality installation or defer the project to a future budget cycle.
The board discussed options such as applying vinyl to fewer windows, using a mix of perforated and non-perforated vinyl accents, or deferring the project to next year to pair it with other budget items. The superintendent said weather is a factor for installation and agreed to seek additional quotes and two reduced-scope alternatives for trustees to consider at the next meeting.
