The School Town of Munster Board of School Trustees voted unanimously to retain Panjir Corporation and to approve Musco Lighting equipment for Project 20240415, the district’s planned tennis facility.

Speaker 1, a board member, introduced Item 3.1 seeking approval to retain Panjir Corporation to execute Project 20240415 for the district’s tennis facility. Speaker 3 moved the motion; the board voted 3–0 to approve the contract retainer.

Why it matters: The approvals begin procurement and vendor engagement for the tennis facility, a project trustees said they have discussed publicly and in work sessions for more than two years. Moving ahead with a contractor and specifying lighting equipment advances the district from planning toward implementation.

Details and discussion: Speaker 2 told trustees that Panjir’s bid was the lowest among multiple bidders and that the company had been vetted against the criteria established by the district’s architect and the school. Speaker 3 thanked local participants and noted a recent streamed public work session in which trustees asked questions and received feedback.

The board separately moved to approve purchase of Musco Lighting equipment for Project 20240415. After a brief discussion, trustees approved that motion by the same 3–0 vote.

Next steps: The motions carry authority for staff to proceed with contracting and procurement actions tied to Project 20240415. The agenda did not specify contract amounts, completion dates, or funding sources; those details were not presented in the meeting record.
