What board members heard: several motions were introduced with short staff presentations; most items prompted brief clarifying questions rather than extended debate. Facilities staff described the Epperly Heights vandalism as damage to 15 AC units and noted upgrades to enclosures and cameras will be added to reduce recurrence. Safety staff described the mapping product as a tool for law enforcement, fire and internal maintenance crews that identifies water and electric shutoffs and provides grid coordinates; staff confirmed the product will be made available only to designated emergency responders and linked to the responders’ CAD systems.

Why it matters: the approvals move longstanding bond and facilities projects forward, address a district security need, and authorize immediate repairs so classrooms will be ready after spring break. The fuel-management system will give the district better visibility into fuel consumption and requires operators to use PIN numbers to access fuel.

Vote details: recorded “aye” votes for these items included Doctor Kirk, Miss Schultz, Miss Standridge and the chair (Vice President Porter) on the motions called during the meeting. Several items were described by staff as using existing project budgets (for bond projects) or district operational funds (for emergency repairs and equipment purchases).
