Wyandotte School Board packet lists FCC grant submission for classroom tech upgrades and $122,850 Chromebook replacement
Summary
The Wyandotte School Board’s March 10 meeting packet included an action-agenda item to submit an FCC grant for classroom network upgrades and listed a Chromebook replacement purchase estimated at $122,850; no vote or final approval was recorded in the provided materials.
The Wyandotte School Board’s March 10 meeting packet included an action-agenda item to submit an FCC grant to support a package of classroom technology upgrades and a separate line item for Chromebook replacements estimated at $122,850.
The packet lists the technology upgrades described as "classroom data cable upgrades, wireless access point replacements, network switch upgrades, and uninterruptible power supplies (UPS) replacements," and it labels the overall item "Technology Upgrades – FCC Grant Submission." The materials also list a separate item described as "Chromebook replacements" with a cost shown as $122,850.00. The action agenda additionally references a Memorial Pool survey and legal description as a distinct item.
Board officers identified in the packet were President Theresa Crnkovich; Vice President Kathleen Kane; Secretary Wendy LoCicero; Treasurer Carolyn Martinez (listed as absent in the attendance record); and trustees Nick Beaven-Parshall and Kelly Webber. The packet itself presents the technology and Chromebook items as agenda items rather than recording any motion or vote on March 10.
Why it matters: network and device upgrades can affect classroom connectivity, instructional software access, and the district’s long-term device-replacement schedule. The packet indicates the district is pursuing external grant funding (an FCC grant submission) for infrastructure work, but it does not show whether grant awards or final procurement approvals have been secured.
The packet did not include additional detail about funding contingencies, vendor selection, or a procurement timeline. The materials indicate next steps would follow normal agenda procedures but do not record a vote or formal action at the March 10 meeting.
