Ogilvie board accepts $10,000 baseball gift and approves $25,959 technology purchase
Summary
Trustees accepted a $10,000 donation for the baseball Florida trip and approved purchasing five projectors and 10 interactive displays for $25,959.10 (vendors specified); both measures passed unanimously.
The Ogilvie Public School District board voted unanimously on March 23 to accept several gifts and to purchase classroom technology upgrades.
Donations: Trustees accepted $500 to the community scholarship fund from Richard and Joyce Anderson and a $10,000 gift from Lynette Weiss earmarked for the baseball team’s spring trip to Florida. Board members thanked donors and noted the impact of philanthropic support on student opportunities.
Technology purchase: The board approved procurement of five classroom projectors and 10 interactive TV displays to connect devices at a total cost of $25,959.10, contingent on confirmed vendor quotes. The motion was amended on the floor to specify the recommended vendors for each item (projector vendor as presented and SHI for the interactive displays; SHI confirmed free shipping). Technology coordinator Becky Coleman had surveyed teachers and recommended five projectors and 10 interactive displays based on classroom needs and teacher feedback.
Both the donations and the technology purchase were recorded in the meeting minutes and carried by unanimous roll-call votes.
