Board approves print-management, Chromebook purchase and student-monitoring tool
Summary
The board approved a cloud print-management/efax solution, purchase of 100 Chromebooks and 10 teacher computers, and a Linewize student-monitoring add-on to improve filtering and safety; all motions carried unanimously.
The board approved three technology procurements intended to update equipment and strengthen student safety.
Administration recommended a cloud-based print-management and efax solution to address driver compatibility and overprinting charges; the contract would also allow removal of analog fax lines. The board approved the recommendation after a motion and second.
The board also approved purchase of 100 Chromebooks and 10 teacher computers through a Virginia procurement vendor to replace missing or inoperable devices. The speaker said the vendor locked in current pricing amid increasing hardware costs.
Finally, the board approved a Linewize monitor add-on for expanded content and behavior monitoring, which the presenter said reduced false positives and provides 24/7 monitoring with alerts to administration and counseling staff; the price for the monitor add-on was listed at $5,100.
All three motions carried on unanimous voice votes. Staff will proceed with vendor contracts and implementation plans and will monitor the effect on the division’s technology budget lines.
