Board approves accessibility door project with LAUSD oversight fee

Board members voted to approve an accessibility upgrade that will replace administration building doors with automated openings for mobility-impaired students and visitors. The project was described as being below the DSA threshold that would slow review; the presenter characterized the installation cost as “about $106,000–$107,000” and said LAUSD would assess an oversight cost of about $17,000.

In discussion board members noted the project’s purpose — enabling students in wheelchairs to access stage and school facilities more easily — and asked clarifying questions about procurement and timeline. The motion to approve the expenditure carried by voice; a single brief opposed response was recorded during the roll call on the approval motion (no named vote recorded in the transcript).
