Board approves nearly $800,000 Apple device refresh to support one-to-one learning
Summary
Trustees approved an Apple technology refresh not to exceed $796,714 to support staff and student devices; administration said timely approval was needed to lock in pricing ahead of potential tariffs.
The Teton County School District board approved a technology refresh purchase of Apple devices not to exceed $796,714 to advance one‑to‑one learning for staff and students.
Kristen explained the district had a favorable quote but warned tariffs could raise costs, so staff asked trustees to approve the procurement to secure current pricing. Trustees asked about vendor timelines; Kristen said the vendor was awaiting district approval to place the order and could move quickly once authorized.
The motion to approve the purchase was made, seconded and passed by the board. Administration said that if tariffs or supply issues prevent fulfilling the order, staff would return to the board with alternatives.
The technology refresh is part of the district’s broader plan to support classroom instruction and replace aging staff devices; procurement and distribution will be managed by the district’s technology team.
