Board approves $211,088 Chromebook purchase, athletic trainer contract and moves forward on traffic-citation resolution
Summary
The board approved buying 320 Chromebooks for $211,088, renewed athletic training services at $5,500, approved food-services vendors, and passed a second reading on a resolution allowing law enforcement to issue traffic citations on school property.
The Holcomb School Board approved several procurement and policy items affecting technology, athletics and campus safety.
Technology: Administration presented a quote to buy 320 Acer touchscreen Chromebooks at $630 each for a total of $211,088; the board approved the purchase and staff said expected delivery is four to six weeks, likely after the first day of school.
Athletics and food services: The board approved a renewal/extension with Whitmore PTLCC (athletic training service) for $5,500 for 2025–26, an increase from prior years, and accepted recommended vendors for milk and food purchasing (Highland, FNA through the Greenbush cooperative, and Cashwa for supplies).
Safety policy: Dr. Myers explained that because school property is private, the district must adopt a board resolution to authorize law enforcement to issue traffic citations on school grounds; the item passed its second reading and the board approved moving the resolution forward toward final adoption.
All procurement and policy items were moved, seconded and approved by voice vote as recorded in the meeting transcript.
