Board reviews referendum balances and options: cameras, gym upgrades, bleachers among priorities
Summary
District administrators presented options for spending interest and remaining referendum balances — either to pay down debt or to fund projects including camera/DVR upgrades, gym lighting and sound, rekeying and signage. The board asked staff to return with refined bids in September.
District administration gave the board a detailed update on referendum expenditures and remaining balances on Aug. 25 and outlined a set of candidate projects should the board choose to reinvest interest earnings rather than apply them to debt.
S2 said the district has recorded approximately $270,963.31 in interest earnings on referendum funds and reviewed payments to contractors and balances owed to PSI and other vendors. "So what that means is if you look at the right plus the roof savings, the board has two options: pay down the debt with some of it or invest these dollars into additional projects that are aligned to the question," S2 said.
Proposed projects discussed included upgrading cameras and servers to increase footage retention from about 13 days to 60 days, replacing or upgrading gym lights and the stage sound system, rekeying the facility and adding ballistic/impact-resistant film to select windows. Board members debated safety priorities (cameras, rekeying, signage) versus 'wants' such as a more robust gym sound system and asked for firm bids and prioritization for a September follow-up meeting.
