On June 10, 2026, the Director of Business and Finance and the Facilities Director requested School Committee approval to declare various furnishings and equipment surplus, including obsolete audio mixers, speakers, spotlights, a mower deck, and several Mitsubishi split AC units and a Carrier condenser using R-22 refrigerant. The memo notes these items are damaged, past useful life, or incompatible with current systems, and that R-22-based HVAC units are no longer used in the district. While the document only covers disposal, the removal of multiple HVAC units and stage/audio assets implies upcoming replacement needs for newer, compliant AC systems and updated sound/lighting equipment for school facilities.Vendors providing K-12 HVAC replacement, energy-efficient mini-splits, AV systems for auditoriums and performance spaces, and surplus disposition support can position themselves for follow-on work. A practical next conversation would explore the district’s plan and funding for replacing R-22 units and modernizing AV in the PAC and other spaces.

Existing equipment references (e.g., Midas M32, Soundcraft mixer replacements) indicate prior investments and potential integration needs when upgrading remaining systems.
