  C. Proposal To Purchase New Desks for the Middle School
   
The Executive Director is proposing that the Board approve the use of one-time ESSER III federal funds to purchase new middle school desks and chairs. The investment in new classroom is not only a capital improvement, as many of the middle school's desks are old, it also allows us more flexibility to distance students from each other (they are single desks) while providing teachers with more classroom configuration options. The desks are on casters which allow them to be easily moved.

Proposal: The Board approves the purchase of new middle school desks costing $135, 000 to be paid out of additional one-time federal funding.
