District to install 32 interactive 75‑inch panels using refunded funds, administrators say
Summary
District staff told the board they purchased 32 interactive 75‑inch panels using refunded funds originally earmarked for Chromebooks; installation is scheduled to begin Monday starting in the library and roll through the district.
District staff reported to the board that 32 75‑inch interactive panels have been purchased and will be installed beginning Monday, with initial installation planned for the library and phased roll‑out across campuses.
According to staff, funds for the panels came from refunded monies that had been earmarked for Chromebooks; the district used semester learning-loss funds to buy the Chromebooks earlier and then repurposed the refunded allocation to buy the larger interactive panels. Staff said Rolla contact Dave Nuss helped locate a favorable price and that the panels will “be phenomenal” for classroom instruction.
Board members raised questions about the size of the purchase and cost coding; staff explained costs are split between elementary and high‑school line items and noted the total cost and how it will be charged across accounts. No formal vote was recorded for the purchase in the transcript; the discussion appeared in review of the bills packet and procurement planning.
