The minutes further record the Board approved a $16,472 change order for Nairy Mechanical and a $13,431 change order for CIR Electrical as part of Phase 2 work; both motions carried 7–0.

The Board also accepted bid recommendations from SEI Design Group for Capital Outlay Phase I (2023) and Phase II (2024) with Fire Safety Systems, Inc., and accepted a donation of football equipment from Barker-Royhart Youth Football.
