Administration is requesting that the Crestwood Board of Education Adopt the Amended 2020-2021 Budget as presented in Attachment 4.A.2.  This amendment recognizes staffing changes which have occurred throughout the year, additional capital outlay purchases, reductions of expenditures due to virtual learning and realignment of expenditures into appropriate classifications.  This budget allows the district to address high need areas in order to move forward, creating a small increase to fund balance.

Description:
The Crestwood School District qualified for E-Rate funding, which is federal funding used to update and maintain technology infrastructure within school districts.  In order to utilize the funds districts must bid out the allotted items and can only focus on specific items.

On February 23, 2021 the crestwood School District accepted bids for the following:  wireless access points, firewall, network electronics, SmartNet and Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) units.  The attached results were analyzed by the district technology department and Wayne RESA.  After reviewing the bid submissions the administration recommends the following companies are awarded the bid:

Currently the district is part of an energy consortium through Direct Energy in order to save electrical and heating costs.  By participating in the consortium the district has the ability to purchase resources at a fixed rate.  The district is currently under contract through May 2025, by approving the attached amendment, we will be able to secure pricing through May 2026.
Subject:
4.a.5) Approval of TRANE Contract
Presenter:
Ms. Morgan
Description:
Crestwood administration has been working with TRANE over the past several months to finalize the scope of work and details of the contract. The attached contract has been reviewed in great detail by our attorneys at Thrun Law Firm, Mr. Scott Jacobs and myself. We have held several conference calls with TRANE to verify all of the details in order to make sure we are comfortable and aware of everything that will be covered in the contract. The total amount of work will cost the district approximately $2,625,000, which has been allocated in our general fund budget over the next 20 years. The work includes replacement of lighting, plumbing, heating and other miscellaneous energy saving items.
Subject:
4.a.6) Approval of Borrowing Resolution for Energy Bonds
Presenter:
Ms. Morgan
Description:
In order to secure funds to complete various energy projects throughout the district, administration would like to borrow approximately $2.6 million through Energy Conservation Bonds.  By doing this, the district will have the ability to spread the cost of desired renovations over the next 20 years without asking the community for additional funds.
Subject:
4.a.7) Approval of Frontline Software
Presenter:
Ms. Morgan
Description:
Crestwood administration has slowly been trasitioning all of our online platforms to Frontline, in order to be fully transitioned we have two final pieces needed.  These products are Professional Learning Management and Employee Evaluation Management.

Professional Learning Management will allow the district to have necessary online traning such as Blood Borne Pathogens along with hundreds of other pertinenet training, this will replace our current system which is limited.  The costs for this system are comparable per year, creating a cost neutral transition with more opportunities.

Employee Evaluations Management will allow the district to change the evaluation platform.  The district currently uses Standards for Success, however this system has proven to be slightly cumbersome and limited to our needs.  By moving to the new system, all of our data will beon one platform and easily accessible.  In addition, this platform transitions well for our required state reporting.  The costs for this system are companrable per year, creating a cost neutral transition with more opportunities.
