Klinger gym sound upgrade proposed using parent-donated school fund; RFP issued

Staff told the committee that the sound system at Klinger Middle School’s gymnasium is poor and an RFP has been issued to address sound quality. The funds for the upgrade were provided by a parent organization and placed into the school fund; because the donation was deposited into the fund, staff said the district required an RFP process rather than a direct purchase.

"So we're bringing this forward, obviously, to be approved, but we have not funded it," the presenter said. Committee members confirmed the parent organization had approved the use of the funds for the sound upgrade and raised no objections. Staff said they will move the project forward to the board for funding approval and asked members to review the RFP results if they want additional detail.

No vote was taken at the operations committee meeting; staff characterized the item as a project that will be presented to the full board.
