Board approves copier lease extension that reduces monthly cost
Summary
The board authorized an extension of its copier lease (from three to four years) that will upgrade two machines and reduce monthly payments by about $200; district staff said the current machines are performing well and the change avoids an immediate rebid.
The Cromwell Board of Education authorized the superintendent or her designee to execute an extension of the district’s copier lease with Leaf Capital Funding LLC, extending the existing agreement from three to four years and upgrading two devices at the middle school and central office.
Business/finance staff told the board the machines are functioning well and that moving to a four‑year term matches the expected machine life and lowers monthly payments by roughly $200. The administration said one of the middle‑school stations had a lighter‑duty machine that could not meet teacher demand and recommended an upgrade.
The motion to authorize the lease extension was moved, seconded and approved without recorded opposition on the audio record. Staff characterized the change as fiscally responsible because it avoids a near‑term rebid and improves service reliability for teachers.
What happens next: The superintendent or her designee will execute the lease documents and schedule the two machine upgrades; staff will monitor uptime and response times with the vendor.
