North Judson-San Pierre School Board members approved the purchase of a replacement vehicle and took action to declare an old one unusable when members met last week.
The board was presented with three different quotes for vans and Superintendent Dr. Annette Zupin informed members why it was needed.
She explained, “We’re requesting a cargo van to transport our food service meals to the elementary and St. Peter’s”
The company Fieldhouse Ford submitted a quote of $32,248, while Jim Dobson Ford’s quote came in at $30,923 and Lochmandy Ford presented members with a quote of $30,896.
Dr. Zupin added that the Indiana Department of Education authorized the purchase to be made with cafeteria funding.
A motion to accept the lowest bid from Lochmandy Ford out of Knox was made and passed without any opposition.
Additionally, Dr. Zupin informed the board members that there is 1989 blue Chevy pickup truck that was previously utilized by the school that is no longer roadworthy.
She explained, “Once it’s declared unusable then we can scrap it. We would not sell it to somebody to have it out on the road but we do need to officially declare it as unusable.”
Members cast a unanimous vote to declare that vehicle unusable.
