Votes at a glance: Waukee CSD approves technology lease amendment, furniture contract, multiple site projects and rejects tennis-court bids

At its meeting the Waukee Community School District Board of Directors approved a slate of motions covering technology procurement, capital project planning and contract actions.

Key outcomes

• Apple master lease amendment: The board approved a resolution authorizing a first amended and substituted schedule (Schedule No. 3, dated 03/25/2025) to the master lease-purchase agreement with Apple Inc., allowing the district to receive the newest version of the iPad at the same pricing previously negotiated. The motion passed by voice vote; no roll-call tally was recorded in the transcript.

• Waukee Innovation and Learning Center (WILC) expansion — furniture: The board opened and closed a public hearing (no written comments received) and then approved the plans, specifications, form of contract and estimate of total cost for the WILC expansion furniture project. The board then approved the resolution awarding the contract for the WILC expansion furniture project as presented. Both motions passed by voice vote.

• Waukee High School tennis court and track reconstruction: The board unanimously approved a motion to reject the bids received for the tennis court and track reconstruction project, citing that timelines could not be met under the current project scope. The administration was authorized to work with athletic directors and the district design team to modify scope and rebid the project.

• Tentative approvals and bid postings: The board tentatively approved plans, specifications, form of contract and estimates of total cost and authorized posting of notices seeking competitive bids for three site projects: Brookview Elementary pavement maintenance; Walnut Hills Elementary 2025 site improvements; and Woodland Hills Elementary North parking-lot reconstruction. Each motion passed by voice vote.

• Policy 413.2: The board approved the second reading of policy 413.2 as presented; no substantive changes were reported since the prior reading.

Each listed motion was offered and seconded in the meeting transcript; in most cases the record shows voice approval ("Aye") rather than a roll-call vote with named tallies.

Actions that required further administrative follow-up included authorizing rebid scoping for the high school tennis/track project and setting public hearings for the tentative-site projects.
