USD 253 Emporia’s Board of Education will have its regular meeting Wednesday night.
Among the top items on the agenda will be consideration of implementing the recently approved lease-purchase agreement for the district’s facility energy performance project discussed last month. The agreement, overseen by Piper Sandler Companies, will be used to solicit bids for the district’s better-than-$13.6 million project to upgrade HVAC units across the district, with the district seeking $8.1 million of that cost through this funding and the remaining $5 million to come from the district’s 2019 facilities bond and another $500,000 coming from capital outlay dollars.
The document will lay out the terms of the agreement, including the district’s repayment process. Should the board approve the agreement’s implementation, it will have a 10-year lifespan, with the district expected to repay just over $1 million annually.
In other business, board members will receive a 1st quarter budget review as well as presentations on attendance and FasBridge Kansas Assessment data.
The monthly board and superintendent reports are also planned, as is a pair of executive sessions, the first being for Personnel matters and the second for Superintendent Evaluation.
The meeting will begin at 6 pm inside the Mary Herbert Education Center.
