Board approves Chromebooks and esports space in unanimous consent votes
Summary
The Racine Unified board approved purchases for student Chromebooks and related infrastructure and separately approved hardware and software for a district esports space; both motions passed 8–0. Funding sources cited included recent referendums.
At the meeting the board approved two procurement motions that were presented during action items. The first motion, moved and seconded by board members, authorized purchase of student Chromebooks, interactive flat panels, charging carts and associated software and fees at a cost not to exceed $3,122,463.25; administrators said the purchase would be funded from referendum and department accounts. The motion passed with eight yeas and no recorded nays.
A second motion approved hardware and software for a district esports space at a cost not to exceed $119,356.50. Board members said they supported the initiative as a student engagement and career‑interest opportunity. That motion also passed on an 8–0 recorded vote.
Both items were included in the superintendent and consent agendas and were approved under standard motion and vote procedure. The board then moved to adjourn.
