Consideration to approve the Resolution Taking Action on 2022 Amended Leases
Earlier this evening the Board of Directors of the Tipton Building Corporation approved the 2022 Amendment of Leases of five or more series of first mortgage bonds. The recommended resolution allows the TCSC Board of Trustees to make a determination of need, approves the form of amendment to the lease and other matters, approve the issuance of multiple series of first mortgage bonds by the Building Corporation, call for a public hearing on the amendment to lease, and to convene a 1028 public hearing for each of the 2022-2024 bonds.
6.2
Consideration to approve Advertisement of Bids and Contractor Prequalification Form
In your packet are two forms developed by RL Turner. The first is the Bid Pre-qualification Form for contractors wishing to bid on the 2022 Outdoor Extracurricular/CoCurricular Facility Improvement Project, as well as a second document used to advertise for bids on the same project. Advertisement of bids will be published twice in the month of February. Bids will be accepted until 2PM March 1, 2022. It is recommended the board of trustees approve the Contractor Bid Pre-qualification Form and the advertisement of bids for the 2022 Outdoor Extracurricular/CoCurricular Facility Improvement Project as written.
6.3
Consideration to Amend the 2021-2022 Academic Calendar
For the last several years, the April eLearning Professional Development Day has coincided with the Tipton High School prom on the third Friday of the month. However, this year the third Friday is also Good Friday, so the Tipton High School prom has been moved to April 22. This alteration creates the need to change the date of our April eLearning Professional Development Day, to April 22, instead of April 15, 2022.
6.4
Consideration to approve the Cancellation of Old Checks
Indiana Code requires the cancellation of warrants or checks, that are outstanding and unpaid for a period of two or more years as of December 31 of each year. The warrants and checks must be declared void. It is recommended the Board of Trustees approve the cancellation of the 23 old checks listed in your packet.
6.5
Consideration to approve an Apple Computer Lease for student devices
It is being recommended that the lease with Apple to purchase MacBook Air laptops and iPads with connected Keyboard be approved. This is a four-year lease as we have done in the past. The total amount of the lease is $397,251.25 at 0.0% financing. The annual payment is $100,651.50. These new devices will be distributed to students in grades 9, 8, 5, 4, 3, and 2 in the fall of this year.
6.6
Consideration to Approve Bids for Mowing and Trimming
Bids for mowing and trimming were advertised and received. Two (2) bid packages were received and included in your packet.
