Summary

The Technology Director recommended seeking quotes in 2026 to replace the district’s bell/intercom system (installed 2008) to avoid emergency failure; phone systems (from 2018) currently function and would be considered after an intercom upgrade.

Dr. Matt Gordon told the committee the bell and intercom system dates to 2008 and is difficult to program and support, while phone systems were installed in 2018 and are functioning. He recommended seeking quotes in 2026 to replace the bell/intercom system preemptively to avoid emergency replacement needs; the committee supported that approach and agreed phones could be upgraded afterward.

Gordon framed the recommendation as proactive maintenance to reduce the risk of sudden system failure and to ensure reliable programming and support for daily operations.
