Approval of the consent agenda
New business—the board voted unanimously to approve the following:
Request for proposal for a public safety distributed antenna system. The funding will pay to enhance operation of the public safety radio system within Battle Ground High School, Daybreak Middle School, Daybreak Primary School and Chief Middle School. These schools were identified after a test found that they had poor signal strength. Battle Ground Public Schools greatly appreciates the partnership and support of the city of Battle Ground, which allocated part of its federal Community Oriented Policing Services grant to improve security in schools within the city limits.
