Board approves $260,850 purchase of 750 student Chromebooks
Summary
The board authorized two purchase orders totaling $260,850 for 750 student Chromebooks and will file for reimbursement through the VP SARP by June 30, 2025, district staff said.
The King George County School Board approved a purchase of 750 student Chromebooks at a cost of $260,850.
A district staff presenter told the board the purchase requisition exceeded the $50,000 threshold that requires board approval and recommended issuing two purchase orders totaling $260,850 for 750 devices, with staff filing for reimbursement “through the VP SARP by June thirtieth of 2025.”
A board member moved to approve the purchase; the motion was seconded and passed by voice vote.
Officials said the newer devices are intended to replace aging equipment and that the division plans to assign upgraded Chromebooks to sixth- and seventh-grade students to extend device life through graduation. The purchase follows prior technology discussions earlier in the year.
