Summary
The board approved purchase of 500 Chromebooks from CTL Corporation for $179,995; the purchase is funded through the district’s summer learning grant and devices will be incorporated into district inventory after programs conclude.
The Roseburg Public Schools board approved the purchase of 500 Chromebooks from CTL Corporation at a proposed cost of $179,995 to support summer learning programs and strengthen digital learning infrastructure.
Assistant Superintendent Michelle Nee presented the staff memorandum and the CTL quote included in the board packet. The superintendent and board noted the device purchase is paid from summer learning grant dollars, meaning no general‑fund allocation is required for this purchase.
During discussion a director raised a brief, practical concern about student misuse and a viral social‑media trend that reportedly damages devices; a district representative said devices will be managed through summer programming and then incorporated into district inventories. Board members described the price point as favorable and welcomed that the purchase is grant‑funded.
Action taken: motion to approve purchase of 500 Chromebooks from CTL Corporation in the amount of $179,995 — approved.
