District to aggregate copier leases under Gordon Flesch; board informed of $75,000 aggregate contract
Summary
District staff reported that copier lease cycles expired and the district will use state pricing to lease multifunction devices from Gordon Flesch; because funds are paid from school discretionary budgets, the aggregate appears large but costs are distributed.
Kenosha Unified School District staff told the school board that the district’s copier lease cycle has ended and the administration plans to enter a contract with Gordon Flesch for multifunction devices under available state pricing.
Staff described the item as a routine procurement that did not require a full RFP because the district could take advantage of state pricing agreements. The item appears as an aggregate contract value of about $75,000; staff said the payments are distributed across individual school discretionary accounts that already cover lease payments, which is why the aggregated dollar figure looks larger than individual site budgets.
“Each school has their discretionary fund, so they’re paying their lease payment on their machine,” a staff member said while explaining the aggregation. Staff presented the item as falling within standard operations and brought it to the board for contract approval because the total amount triggers board review under district procurement rules.
No detailed vote was recorded in the special meeting transcript; staff said this is a routine approval item on the agenda and that funds are already assigned across schools.
