The ESASD School Board Finance Committee met on August 10, 2026, to discuss various procurement and budget-related matters. Key procurement topics included the application for a school violence prevention grant to acquire 14 metal detectors and related technology to enhance security at school events. The committee reviewed financial reports through June 30, noting ongoing invoice processing and a positive variance in revenues, particularly from basic instruction and medical assistance reimbursements. Capital projects nearing completion were highlighted, including boiler replacements and sprinkler system upgrades. The board approved a $15,003 grant-funded purchase of AED and CPR training equipment, contract renewals for surveillance and telehealth mental health services, and accepted a propane bid from Sharp Auto Gas offering lower prices for a two-year term. Additionally, the board approved compliance services with US Omni and TSACG, accepted a $6,667 donation from Pocono United Way for school supplies, and authorized agreements and requests for proposals related to property and facilities, including a sewer system transfer and potential health care facility development. Payments for ongoing capital projects with Trane and Piebarker were also approved, alongside a $327,200 professional development training contract for math instruction funded by Title I. Motions for all these procurement actions were passed during the meeting.
