Board OKs $571,687 elementary iPad purchase for student device refresh
Summary
The Papillion La Vista Community Schools Board approved a contract to buy elementary iPads and cases from Apple Inc. and CDWG for $571,687.40 as part of the district's device-refresh plan.
The Papillion La Vista Community Schools Board of Education voted to approve a purchase agreement with Apple Inc. and CDWG totaling $571,687.40 to refresh elementary student iPads and protective cases.
Mr. Moore, a district staff member who presented the proposal, said the purchase is "the second phase of our device refresh cycle" and recommended approval of contracts with Apple and CDWG for the amount shown in the board summary. The board discussed the purchase briefly before taking a roll-call vote.
The motion to approve was made by Mr. Madler and seconded by Mr. Bailey. The four board members present — Miss Witt (board president), Miss Wood, Mr. Bailey and Mr. Madler — voted yes and the motion carried.
The board tied the purchase to prior discussion at strategic planning about the district's expanded use of technology and said the refresh supports those goals. The purchase covers both the tablets and cases; no financing or trade-in details were provided in the meeting record.
The district staff member presenting did not specify device models, warranty terms, or expected delivery and deployment dates; those details were not part of the motion on the record.
