The Holdingford Public School District board approved a flooring contract and received updates on planned summer facilities work and state funding calculations at its Feb. 18 meeting.
On a motion by Rob Knettel with a second from Sarah Hansen, the board approved the low bid from Hennen’s Floor Covering to replace flooring in 12 classrooms in the center section of the elementary school for $33,871.51. The motion passed unanimously.
Business Manager Garrity Gerber briefed the board on planned summer projects including restroom renovations, building recabling, carpet replacements, and intermediate gym updates. Gerber said he had released capital request forms to staff and noted they are due by the end of February. He also told the board that the Minnesota Department of Education (MDE) has released a new compensatory revenue formula, which may change compensatory revenue amounts year to year.
Why it matters: the flooring contract and summer projects involve capital spending and scheduling that affect classrooms and operations; the MDE formula could alter compensatory revenue estimates used in district budgeting. The administration did not provide a detailed funding breakdown for the projects during the meeting.
The board recorded no objections to the flooring award and moved on to other agenda items, including personnel and policy first readings. Facilities staff are expected to schedule installations for the summer months.
The board adjourned at 6:35 PM.
