St. Charles CUSD 303 to proceed with districtwide computer refresh; oldest-first replacement plan
Summary
Committee reviewed a recommendation to refresh laptops and desktops across the district after stretching the previous purchases; staff recommended replacing oldest machines first and the committee agreed to move the refresh recommendation to the consent agenda.
District technology staff presented a recommendation to refresh district laptops and desktops. Staff said the last significant laptop purchase occurred in May 2021 and the last desktop purchase was in 2019; the equipment is beyond the district's typical three- to four-year replacement cycle. Technology staff recommended replacing devices on an oldest-first basis across the district and aligning future purchases with a regular rotation.
Committee members asked about scope and site prioritization; staff said they will prioritize replacement by age and critical function and will return a more detailed rollout and cost plan in board materials. The committee agreed to move the computer-refresh recommendation to the consent agenda.
