Board approves Toshiba copier contract and routine consent items; pulls and tables internal audit governance
Summary
The State Board approved a five‑year, $11 million contract with Toshiba for agency copiers and passed the consent agenda, approved a bus purchase for MSMS and tabled a pulled item (updated internal audit chart) to the January meeting.
The Mississippi State Board of Education voted on several procurement and consent items during the Dec. 18 meeting in Jackson.
Miss Williams presented a five‑year contract with Toshiba America Business Solutions to provide copiers for MDE at a total cost of $11,000,000. The board approved the contract on a motion by Mr. Mayo and a second by Dr. Barrett; the chair called for the ayes and recorded no opposition.
The board approved the consent agenda (items 8 a–n) including an approval to purchase a bus for the Mississippi School for Mathematics and Science; Mr. Mayo recused himself on the bus purchase item. Earlier in the meeting Board members had pulled item 7ks (an updated internal audit chart) from the consent agenda; after discussion they moved to table that item to the January meeting so members could review circulated materials and get fuller consideration.
Next scheduled meeting: Jan. 16, 2026, 10:00 a.m., Jackson (4th Floor Boardroom).
