Board approves purchase of interactive whiteboards for high‑school classrooms
Summary
Trustees approved purchase of interactive whiteboard displays for the high‑school remodel; the purchase meets the board’s single‑item approval threshold and is planned to be funded from bond proceeds associated with classroom remodeling.
The Perryton ISD Board of Trustees approved a purchase of interactive whiteboard displays to be installed in remodeled classrooms at the high school. The board approved the purchase after representatives said the cost crosses the district’s $50,000 single‑purchase threshold and therefore required board approval.
Presenters said much of the cost is expected to be covered by bond funds as part of the high‑school remodeling work. A staff member noted they had found a favorable price and wanted to place the order while pricing remained competitive. When asked how many displays were being purchased, speakers in the room said “17” (the transcript records the sequence “17. 17. 15.” during that exchange).
A motion to approve the purchase as presented was moved and seconded and carried 5-0. The transcript indicates staff will proceed with ordering to align delivery with classroom remodel schedules; no additional budget appropriation or transfer details were identified in the recorded discussion beyond the statement that bond funds will cover much of the cost.
