Bid accepted for security system at Wayne schools

Posted

In a meeting to approve end-of-year claims, the Wayne Community Schools' Board of Education met Tuesday.

In addition to approving the claims, Superintendent Dr. Mark Lenihan told the board that the district ended the fiscal year with approximately $125,000 more in cash reserves than in the last fiscal year.

Following approval of the claims the board voted to transfer $50,000 from the General Fund to the Depreciation Fund, earmarked for technology.

A bid of $11,498.30 was accepted from ECS Technology Solutions for 11 security cameras for the elementary school.

Dr. Lenihan told the board that the new system will allow for cloud-based storage of information. An electrician will be needed to assist with the installation.

The purchase will be paid for with ESSER III funds and the cameras could be installed fairly soon.

The Construction Manager at Risk (CM@R) agreement was approved with Hausmann Construction for the proposed Early Childhood and High School Improvements Project.

A series of four meetings will be held prior to mid-November as the process moves forward. The district will also be working with attorneys from the Perry Law Firm throughout the entire project.

Board members also discussed a proposal for engineering services with Morrissy Engineering for professional engineering services for the school's fire alarm system.

The Wayne Community Schools' Board of Education will next meet in regular session on Monday, Sept. 12 at 5 p.m.
