Not surprising at all. I don’t know about the rest of the country, but nearly all school boards in NJ are run by non-paid citizens who run for office with no experience in business or education. The result - if you look at school contracts, they are paying outrageous rates with no safety net compared to regular businesses. In our district they are spending $300k on simple pole barns and $50k on simple score boards because industry knows school boards have no clue on actual costs of goods and services. With amateurs running the show, it is not at all surprising that they flubbed negotiations for a service like this.
