Wapsie Valley board addresses facilities, technology purchases and program agreements; tables large Chromebook purchase
Summary
Board discussed a $19,000 field project change order, approved multiple shared-service agreements and smaller technology purchases, and tabled a proposal to buy 290 Chromebooks; Fairbank playground fundraising of $35,000 was noted during public comment.
The Wapsie Valley Community School District board discussed facility and technology items and approved several shared-service agreements at its May 18 meeting. The board authorized a $19,000 change order to address a soft area in front of the bleachers for the Track/Football field project after core testing returned unacceptable results; the minutes note the change order will reduce the project contingency.
During public comment, Angie James reported that the Max & Helen Guernsey Foundation will donate $35,000 toward the Fairbank playground. The board approved multiple agreements with Central Rivers (Special Education Director, Technology Services, Work Based Learning and Work Experience coordinator days) and service plans including a Direct Support Professional service plan and Spanish instructional services for 2026–27.
On technology procurement, the board tabled a proposal to purchase 290 Chromebooks for 2026–27 and instead approved a $14,513.40 quote from CDW to purchase 15 Dell Pro teacher laptops. The board also approved a cooperative swim-sharing agreement with Waterloo West and a consulting agreement for Science and TAG services.
The meeting adjourned at 7:16 p.m., and the minutes include a bills list with a general total of $217,098.14 and program-specific totals (PPEL, Track/FB Field, Activity, Lunch).
