Summary
The Oak Park Board approved buying 375 replacement iPads from Apple Inc. for $137,346.25 and a $8,745 iPad management licensing agreement; the board also appointed Trustee Tiffany Scott as its OCSBA Government Relations Committee representative.
The Oak Park Board of Education voted Jan. 27 to purchase 375 replacement iPads from Apple Inc., with accessories, at a total cost of $137,346.25 and to approve an associated iPad management licensing agreement priced at $8,745.
An unidentified speaker reading the recommendation said, "Resolved that the Oak Park board approves the purchase of 375 replacement iPads from Apple Inc ... for a total cost of $137,346.25." The motion on the device purchase was made by Trustee Clark and seconded by Trustee Scott. A roll call was taken and board members recorded their votes in the affirmative, and the motion carried.
The board then considered a separate recommendation to secure perpetual iPad management licensing through the state master computing program pricing for Insight Public Sector for $8,745. The recommendation was read aloud by the same motion reader and again approved by roll call.
The board also approved a personnel appointment: "Resolved that the Oak Park Board of Education appoints trustee Tiffany Scott as its representative to the Oak Park City School Board Association, OCSBA, Government Relations Committee, GRC," with Trustee Heather Perryman named as alternate. That appointment was moved, seconded and accepted without a roll call.
The technology purchases were presented as discrete agenda actions by the motion reader and were passed by recorded vote. The meeting subsequently moved to a closed session later in the agenda for attorney–client privilege under the Michigan Open Meetings Act.
