Board members discussed and approved several construction bids, including bids for door hardware and security cameras, roofing projects, asbestos removal, and a change order for the project at Wilson Elementary. For Wilson, the asbestos abatement company did not complete the work on schedule, which caused delays in other aspects of the project. Kingston Environmental, the asbestos abatement company, agreed to a settlement of $15,730. First Management, the general contractor, also agreed to a settlement of $10,000 for delays it caused. The district's program manager said the deductions would cover the expense of busing Wilson students to Northview during the time that their classrooms were not ready, but the settlement amounts don't account for "pain and suffering." Three parents of Wilson students addressed the board and expressed their concerns that the project is still not completed. The board approved the Wilson change order 4-1, with Darell Edie dissenting because he didn't feel the settlement went far enough.
The board discussed the vacancy that was created when Doug Messer resigned. The board approved 5-0 to adopt a resolution to fill the vacancy. The board will advertise that interested citizens should submit a letter of interest and a resume. Depending upon the number of applicants, board members will narrow the field and then interview the top candidates during open session.
