Board hears updates on furniture, digital marquees, demolition and bleachers; marquee bids needed
Summary
District staff reported ongoing capital work: second phase classroom furniture procurement, digital‑marquee quotes (~$30–$40k per school) that will require formal bidding, White House demolition scheduling, and bleacher planning pending concrete pad work and traded services.
Andrew (finance director) briefed the board on capital projects including a second phase of classroom furniture (teacher desks and storage needs), digital‑marquee replacement estimates for multiple schools (quotes in the roughly $30,000–$40,000 range per sign), and the need to bid marquee work because the expense would exceed the district threshold. He said the district budgeted about $40,000 for sign replacements across four schools but expects to bid the project.
Andrew also said the White House demolition and abatement are being scheduled with the contractor who handled the old high‑school demolition, and that track bleachers remain planned pending a concrete pad the contractor will pour in January–February. Staff flagged PA‑system grants that may support audio upgrades; the board asked staff to return with bid packages and timelines.
