Board approves Apple device lease extension requested by Craven County Schools
Summary
The board approved a resolution authorizing the county to enter a multi-year lease with Apple, after the Craven County Board of Education voted May 19 pending county approval; Assistant Superintendent Steuart Blunt and school technology staff presented the request.
Assistant Superintendent Steuart Blunt, joined by the school district—s director of technology Marina Shine, Superintendent Dr. Cheeseman and the district finance officer, asked the county to approve a multi-year lease agreement with Apple to support school technology needs.
Blunt told the commissioners that the Craven County Board of Education approved a contingent resolution on May 19 and the district requested the county—s approval because the lease originates in the capital budget and requires county action. A commissioner confirmed the board—s approval of the school board resolution was unanimous.
A motion to approve the county—s resolution to enter the Apple lease extension was made, seconded and approved on a unanimous roll-call vote. The clerk recorded each commissioner voting yes.
