Board members discussed the Chromebook buyout and said the district has added an in-house repairs position to reduce external repair costs and that the buyout will allow salvaged parts to support existing devices. The chief of operations said the contracts are part of a five-year device-sustainment plan and cited price-uncertainty concerns tied to tariffs.
All motions that involved district funds were recorded via roll-call vote in the meeting minutes. Where roll calls were taken the minutes show unanimous support of the motions recorded (7-0).
