Board approves Chromebook purchases, monument signs and GHS gym floor resurfacing
Summary
The board approved a Chromebook lease and library Chromebook purchase, moved forward with monument signage for elementary schools and the district office, and approved resurfacing the Germantown High School main gym floor as part of the capital improvement plan.
The Germantown School District Board approved a suite of technology and facilities recommendations on March 17 recommended by the finance and buildings & grounds committees.
Finance moved forward a lease‑purchase agreement to acquire Chromebooks for students through BDJtech with four‑year financing and recommended a separate purchase of 180 touchscreen library Chromebooks, corresponding Google licenses and charging carts. The board also approved membership in the Wisconsin School Nutrition Purchasing Cooperative to improve food‑service pricing.
Buildings & Grounds recommended—and the board advanced to finance—a project to install standardized monument signs at several elementary school sites and the district office, with a project estimate of approximately $117,476 and a note that additional electrical costs to power sign displays will be brought to finance. The board also approved a resurfacing of the Germantown High School main gym floor at an estimated $89,875 funded from the capital improvements budget (Fund 41).
The projects were presented with funding sources and next steps; finance will return final contract and any incremental electrical pricing to the board before work begins.
