Kickapoo board approves consent agenda and $11,004 Chromebook purchase
Summary
The Kickapoo Area School District board approved its consent agenda and authorized purchase of 35 replacement Chromebooks from Tech to School for $11,004.79, citing available budget funds.
The Kickapoo Area School District board on April 8 approved its consent agenda and authorized the purchase of replacement Chromebooks.
At the start of the meeting, the board approved routine consent items including minutes, co-op agreements and donations. During the action agenda the board discussed replacing aging Chromebooks and confirmed roughly $14,000 remained in the relevant budget line. After discussion, a motion to purchase 35 Chromebooks through Tech to School passed on a voice vote. The purchase amount announced during the meeting was $11,004.79.
Board members noted the district uses Chromebooks primarily for fourth and fifth grades and that devices tend to cycle from upper to lower grades. The board approved the purchase as within the available budget and moved on to other business. The consent agenda, which included a Better Futures co-op agreement and several extracurricular items, was approved by voice vote earlier in the meeting.
The board did not record individual roll-call vote tallies for the Chromebook purchase in the public transcript; the action was approved by voice vote and recorded as carried.
