Board approves consent agenda, authorizes expedited laptop purchase and OKs telecom and grant items
Summary
At its April 8 meeting the Lincoln Board of Education approved the consent agenda and unanimously approved an expedited purchase of laptops for certificated staff, Cisco Webex calling and a PEAK grant application.
Lincoln — The Lincoln Board of Education approved routine business items and several procurement and grant items on April 8, voting by roll call on consent agenda items and on individual second‑reading and expedited items.
A motion to approve the consent agenda (items 8.1–8.5: human resources; routine business; option enrollment applications for 2025–26 and late requests; enrollment of expelled students) passed on roll call. The motion was moved by Kathy Danek and seconded by Barb Beyer; voting board members present recorded "yes." Two members—Mister Boswell and Missus Mumbgaard—were excused earlier in the meeting.
The board approved an expedited purchase of laptops for certificated staff after trustees voted to set aside the two‑reading policy and approve the purchase that night. District staff said the request was brought forward early to avoid expected increases in import and shipping costs; the model requested is the same one the district planned to purchase in August. The motion to expedite and approve was moved by Kathy Danek and seconded by Barb Beyer and passed by roll call.
On second reading the board approved a Cisco Webex calling contract and the board also approved the Promoting Engagement and Knowledge (PEAK) grant application; both motions passed on roll call with unanimous "yes" votes from members present.
No expedited emergency actions or items removed from the consent agenda were reported. The meeting concluded with announcements of upcoming community and board events.
