Summary

The board heard a proposal to phase out older district iPads and technology and to offer remaining devices to recent graduates and staff first, then the public; proceeds would be used toward future purchases and the item was informational rather than a formal vote.

At agenda item 26‑035 the board reviewed a plan to dispose of obsolete technology — primarily iPads — and to sell usable units first to recent graduates and then to staff, with remaining items opened to the public or auctioned as district policy allows.

Technology staff (Scott Osmond named as the technical contact in the presentation) will manage pricing and sales; board members noted that auctioning old equipment in prior years generated funds that helped purchase replacements. A board member asked about price examples; the transcript recorded a garbled figure that meeting participants discussed as a low‑dollar example used in prior years.

Administrators said district policy governs end‑of‑life equipment and that any proceeds would support future technology purchases. There was no formal vote on this informational item; the board moved on after questions and brief discussion.
