Purdy R-II purchases bus radio system

February 17, 2021
Sheila Harris

    According to Purdy R-11 Schools superintendent, Mindi Gates, the district purchased a radio system for their school buses with a portion of the Barry County CARES Act dollars the district received last fall. The purchase of the radio system was made in December.
    The digital radio system with a repeater, includes nine bus radios (one for each bus), four base radios to be housed in district offices and two portable radios.
    The system was purchased from Radiophone in Springfield for the total cost of $30,688.92, which includes equipment, installation and licensing, according to Gates.
    “The radio system was much needed for the improvement of district communication regarding the health and safety of our students,” Gates said.
    The district has received permission from the City of Purdy to place an antenna for the bus radios on the water tower closest to the school, as well as permission to house some of the necessary equipment in the city’s tower shed.
