Board approves Smart MX smartboards after teacher testing
Summary
Following district testing with teachers, the Chippewa Hills board approved purchasing Smart MX smartboards from Forte for classroom use; the purchase was approved unanimously among members present.
The Chippewa Hills Board of Education approved purchase of Smart MX smartboards at its March 17 special meeting.
A presenter identified as Mr. Compson told the board the district worked with several companies to place different smartboards in teachers’ hands for testing across grade levels. After testing and discussion, the board agreed the Smart MX model was the best option and approved the recommended purchase from Forte.
The motion to approve the smartboard purchase was made by Brenda Donley and supported by Amanda Cornell. The vote recorded six yes votes from members present; Julia Ezell was absent. The minutes do not include purchase quantity, unit price or total contract value; those details will be handled by district procurement staff.
