Board approves $208,604 Common School Fund loan for district technology purchases
Summary
Elkhart Community Schools qualified for and the board approved a School Technology Advancement Account (STAA) application to secure a low‑interest Common School Fund loan of $208,604 to purchase technology, the district said July 8.
Elkhart Community Schools notified the board on July 8 that the district qualifies for a low‑interest Common School Fund loan of $208,604 under the School Technology Advancement Account (STAA), and the board approved the application.
A district representative asked trustees to authorize use of the loan to make technology purchases. “The tech department and the business office seeks board approval to use these funds to make technology purchases,” the presenter said. Following a brief question period, trustees voted in favor of the STAA application. The meeting record shows the motion carried with all members voting “aye.”
The district representative thanked the board after the vote. No further details on the specific technology items to be purchased or the loan’s interest rate and repayment schedule were provided during the July 8 meeting; the presenter said the loan would be used for purchases the district cannot make without other funds.
