Board OKs up to $55,000 to install acoustic panels in new high-school gym
Summary
After reviewing material and installation bids, the board approved a not-to-exceed $55,000 budget to install acoustic panels in the new high-school gym, citing safety from high decibel levels and a chance to add additional panels for better coverage.
The Liberty School District board approved a motion to set a budget not to exceed $55,000 to purchase and install acoustic panels in the new high-school gym.
Staff presented two bids: material estimates near $30,000 and installation labor estimated at about $9,500; the districts architect had earlier estimated costs closer to $100,000. "A lot of them are dangerous decibels," one board member said when describing the need for improved acoustics. Board members discussed adding approximately 10 more panels for broader coverage and agreed the $55,000 cap would allow purchasing the additional panels and covering installation costs. The motion passed by voice vote with no roll-call recorded.
