The RSU 06/MSAD 06 school board voted unanimously to adopt Resolution 22, authorizing $289,154 from capital reserve funds to purchase and install touch‑panel displays and associated cabling and electrical work in K–5 classrooms across the district, excluding Buxton Center Elementary.

Director Sargent told the board the district piloted the technology at Buxton Center last year and described the pilot as a success; the funding will expand the program districtwide to the remaining elementary schools. The board recorded 10 members voting in the affirmative and the motion carried.
District staff said the appropriation includes equipment, cabling and electrical work needed for installation. No further debate or questions were recorded before the vote.
The board approved the funding at the meeting after committee reports were presented; implementation details and scheduling for installation were not specified and will be handled through district facilities and technology staff.
