Recap: Last night’s Special Board of Directors meeting at Toledo School District office moved to authorize Superintendent Chris Rust to contract with General Mechanical to install a fire pump replacement purchased June 1, 2017.
In answer to the Board’s queries, Rust explained this job was advertised in the Daily Journal of Commerce, an industry publication widely recognized as the standard for Public Works projects. While a minimum of three sealed bids may be sought, the school year summer break ideal for completing projects before classes resume, competition for specialty and general contractors means fewer bids. Two responsible bidders meeting criteria such as insurance, experience rating, etc. - submitted their documents, General Mechanical coming in low bidder at $318,800.
Details can be found at the District website under June 5, 2017 Board Docs including agenda,booster pump bid summary, and bid tabulation.
Alternatively, you may join the Facilities Advisory Committee 6 - 8 PM this evening at Toledo High School; time will be allotted to answer questions specific to this project.

From Toledo School District’s Pat Peak Meade: We have had a very good first year with the TES PTO Kids Closet.
Thank you to everyone who has volunteered time and donated clothing, shoes and so much more! We invite you, our community, to take advantage of an end of the year distribution. There will be some summer wear along with overstocks of some categories! That will help out with stocking and set up for next year.
Come on by 1 - 3 p.m. Wednesday & Thursday...more

Tech Report: Local News
Toledo High School’s Mrs Berry says: Our Robotics students are presenting their final Animatronics projects today, June 6, during 6th period in the Library. The display will be ready by 2:15 p.m. They have been working on these projects for three weeks.
Our Career Technical Education courses focus on building 21st Century skills of Communication, Collaboration, Creativity, Critical Thinking, and Citizenship.
I know that (T.O.T. has) a Tech Corner segment, so I thought that this would be of interest to you. Please join us! We'll have candy to share!
Thank you for your support of our school.
