Mrs. Norma Krug added two additional items, not necessarily needing a motion at this time: The quotes for he calculators needed for next year were given to her by Ms. Pupo and are available for the Board. Mr. Lance Jones contacted her about the possibility of leasing or purchasing Timpani Drums. The quote for leasing them for 3 years was $16,000.00. The quote to purchase them was to be sent but she did not have it at this time. She remembers the quote to purchase them was about $13,000.00 or $14,000.00 that first year. The Band Boosters offered to help with this purchase donating (approximately) $3,000.00 or $4,000.00 in order to help with the cost. Mr. Lockard asked if they would be allowed to use any leftover monies from the Athletic Program toward the purchase of the drums. He knows that the Rifle Team did not use all their money. Dr. Krug would suggest not to lease and if they are needed we purchase them outright. Mrs. Norma Krug, from the lease she has, it lists the retail at about $24,000.00 so they are giving us a good price at $14,000.00. Mr. Huffman suggested getting 3 proposals because it is over $12,000.00. Mrs. Norma Krug said the calculators would be $5,227.00, with the price Wal Mart quoted. Mr. Rocco suggested checking with Kurtz, when he ordered calculators he checked on Amazon and got the best price he could find, then called Kurtz, who gave him a quote of half off the list price. The best price on Amazon was $25.00 each Kurtz ended up offering theirs for $24.00 ea. Ms. Pupo said that Kurtz normally give a 30% discount, but she will check with them as well. Mr. Pawlikowski asked how many she needs, and who needs them. Ms. Pupo said 70 of one and 45 of another. And Mr. Rescinito, Mr. Taranto and Mr. Hogan. The motion read as follows: MOTION FROM THE FLOOR - Graphing Calculators Motion by Mrs. Norma Krug, seconded by Dr. Krug: BE IT RESOLVED, the Board of Education grant the request to purchase (70) TI-30 and (45) TI-83 Graphing Calculators not to exceed $5,500.00. 14769
