North Cape board approves purchase of 55 Chromebooks paid by Small Rurals grant
Summary
At its March 18 meeting the North Cape School District Board of Education approved the purchase of 55 Chromebooks from ITsavvy (quote #3834264), to be paid by a Small Rurals grant; the board also approved minutes and payroll/disbursement checks.
The North Cape School District Board of Education on March 18 voted to buy 55 Chromebooks from ITsavvy under quote #3834264, with the purchase to be paid by a Small Rurals grant.
Ryan Menken moved to approve the ITsavvy Chromebook quote; Tom Henningfeld seconded, and the motion carried with no recorded discussion. The board’s action followed trustees’ note that the district has a relatively low device breakage rate and that extending device warranty years was a goal.
Votes at a glance: The board also approved the minutes from its Feb. 19 meeting (motion by Tom Halter; second by Tom Henningfeld), and approved payroll and disbursement checks (motion by Tom Halter; second by Tom Henningfeld). All motions were recorded as carried with all in favor.
District officials said the Chromebook purchase will increase warranty coverage and extend the device turnover plan beyond an earlier three-year schedule. The purchase was described as payable from the Small Rurals grant; the meeting record notes the grant as the funding source but does not list the purchase price or line-item budget allocations.
Next steps: The vendor order will proceed under the approved quote and the district will apply the grant funds to the purchase as planned. No additional motions or contingencies about deployment were recorded at the meeting.
