Board OKs security hardware for 20 buses totaling $166,880, funded by 31a grant and general fund
Summary
Board approved a $166,880 purchase to install security hardware on 20 buses, to be paid equally from a 31a grant and the district general fund; administrators said they received three hardware bids and one installation response.
The Monroe Public Schools Board voted to approve security hardware and installation for 20 district buses at a cost of $166,880 from Red Letter Productions. Superintendent staff told the board the purchase will be funded half from a 31a grant and half from the district general fund.
During the discussion a member asked how many bids were received; staff said three bids were obtained for the hardware and one vendor responded for installation. A motion to approve the purchase was made and passed by roll call.
Board members who questioned procurement authority said they were voting to indicate concern about jurisdiction while the purchasing policy remained unsettled, but the final recorded motion carried.
