Trustees table Sangoma phone-system contract after packet review requested

Trustees questioned costs and failover options; a motion to approve the Sangoma agreement (resolution 2026-062) received no second and was tabled for further review.

She recommended staying with the current vendor Sangoma and upgrading to a cloud-based configuration, which would also require replacing the network switch and some phones.
