Board outlines device-replacement plan for high school, Denman and Higgins using leftover FY25 federal funds
Summary
District staff summarized a plan to replace student devices at the high school (full replacement), partially at Denman, and a small addition to Higgins, using leftover federal funds from FY25; devices will be deployed as units fail and to meet current shortages.
District staff described a device-replacement plan for multiple schools that they said is funded with leftover federal funds from fiscal year 2025. Unidentified Speaker 3 told the board, "Mister Vick and his hall are tasked with going through and finding a way to replace 7 12 and to supplement the other schools that were missing devices for this school year." Speaker 3 said the plan calls for a full replacement at the high school, a partial replacement at Denman and a "very small addition to Higgins," and that deployment will occur as devices fail or when schools currently lack enough working units.
Speaker 3 specified the funding source in the meeting: "It was with leftover federal funds from FY 25 that was designated or allocated for this specific task." The speaker also confirmed that the funds and the amounts discussed represented the designated payout totals for those three schools.
The transcript does not enumerate specific device counts, vendor names for hardware, or a precise implementation schedule. The board did not record a separate motion or vote on this expenditure within the provided excerpt; staff described the plan and the funding source for board awareness and operational use.
