5/23/13 - The Brighton Area Schoolsâ Board of Education Monday night approved another technology bid, this time for new classroom audio-visual systems. Barton Malow, which is handling the technology portion of the bond issue passed by voters last year, recommended the $1.1 million bid by Digital Age Technologies, one of six bidders for the project. The recommendation was approved unanimously by the board. The bid was the second-lowest, not the lowest, but since Digital Age Technologies is the contractor on a related aspect of the technology upgrades, the board was told sticking with the same company would be the most efficient way to go about it. Superintendent Greg Gray tells WHMI the audio-visual systems will go in all buildings, but primarily at Maltby Intermediate, Scranton Middle School and Brighton High School. With a $16 million price tag, technology comprises a big chunk of the total $88- million bond issue. Work will begin in earnest on the new athletic complex at Scranton Middle School and the outdoor athletic facilities at Brighton High School as another major part of the bond issue. (TT)
