Board approves consent agenda, contracts, Chromebooks and facilities purchases
Summary
On voice votes the board approved the agenda and the consent agenda, extended administrators' contracts, awarded Chromebooks ($151,265), approved a Chartwells food-service contract, accepted abatement work (~$57,448) and approved bond furnishings for FECC and DeWitt High School.
During action items the DeWitt Public Schools Board of Education approved several routine and procurement items by voice vote.
The board first adopted the meeting agenda and then approved the consent agenda, which included minutes, the treasurer's report, out-of-state student trip requests and salary schedules. The board next approved extensions of principals' and administrators' contracts for 2026-27 and 2027-28 with authorization for the superintendent to execute contracts by June 30, 2026.
Procurements and contracts approved included a purchase of 300 HP 14-inch Chromebooks with management licenses at $151,265; an award of food-service management to Chartwells for 2026-27; an abatement award to Global Green Service Group for First Imar Early Childhood Center and DeWitt Middle School for approximately $57,448; and bond furnishings purchases for FECC ($17,392.73) and DeWitt High School ($71,695.92). The board approved each motion by voice vote with no recorded roll-call tallies in the meeting record.
Board members asked procedural and logistical questions during several items (for example, a question about liftgate charges for Chromebook deliveries). Recommendation letters from vendors and environmental consultants were noted in the packet for several awards. None of the approvals included recorded opposition in the public transcript and staff will proceed with contract execution and project implementation steps as authorized.
The meeting then moved to public communications and the student report.
