The Green Local School District Board of Education approved a five-year renewal with ComDoc for the districtwide printer-copier fleet at $10,765 per month, to be paid from the permanent improvement fund.

Board members said the contract represents a monthly savings of $3,514.56 compared with the prior agreement. The board credited the Stark consortium, which negotiates contracts on behalf of multiple school districts, with securing the lower price and some discounted services; board members noted the consortium pools purchasing power for better terms.

The motion to approve the contract passed 4-0. Board members asked why the savings were available and staff explained the consortium negotiated lower prices because it bundles dozens of districts when contracting with vendors.

The contract was reported to be paid from the district’s permanent improvement fund; the board did not discuss the total five-year cost in the public record during this meeting.
