Board approves $488,130 purchase of staff devices paid from 2020 bond fund
Summary
The board unanimously approved a $488,130 purchase of staff devices (laptops, Chromebooks, monitors) to be paid from the 2020 bond and center program fund; trustees asked about disposition of replaced devices and were told usable machines are sold and older ones recycled.
The Bloomfield Hills Schools Board of Education voted 7–0 to approve a $488,130 purchase of staff devices funded from the 2020 bond and related program funds.
Why it matters: The purchase covers staff laptops, Chromebooks and desktop monitors as part of a device-refresh tied to the district bond. Trustees asked how the district disposes of replaced equipment; the district’s IT director said devices with residual value are sold and devices without value are recycled.
At the meeting, Somer Al Sayed Sullivan, the district’s director of information technology, said the high school upgrade completed last year is being replicated at other buildings. A trustee moved to approve the purchase; the motion carried unanimously.
Vote and funding: The motion to approve the purchase in the amount of $488,130 was moved and seconded during the board business section and passed by a 7–0 voice/roll-call combination. The purchase will be paid from the 2020 bond and program fund identified in the agenda materials.
Provenance: The presentation and vote are recorded in the board-business section beginning at SEG 2162 and concluding with the vote at SEG 2231.
