Board approves replacement of high school auditorium curtains to meet fire-safety standards
Summary
Facilities staff told trustees the high school auditorium curtains—installed 20 years ago—must be replaced to meet Texas Education Code and NFPA requirements; the board approved replacement using BuyBoard procurement.
Mark Ferrer, Executive Director of Facilities, told the board high school auditorium curtains installed during a remodel about 20 years ago need replacement because modern code and National Fire Protection Association standards require hanging fabrics be noncombustible or flame retardant.
Ferrer said Texas Scenic, the original installer, noted a typical service life of roughly 20 years for theater curtains; the administration issued an RFP via BuyBoard and recommended purchasing fire-retardant curtains that meet current safety standards. The board approved the replacement by recorded vote.
