Board grants superintendent authority to buy up to $95,000 in desktop computers
Summary
To avoid procurement delays, the board authorized the superintendent to spend up to $95,000 to replace end‑of‑life desktop computers (roughly 35 units) so installations can occur before the school year; the motion passed by voice vote.
The board granted the superintendent authority to purchase desktop computers with an authorization not to exceed $95,000, a measure the administration said is necessary to meet lead times and have equipment installed by August 1.
Doctor Scott asked for authority because finalized vendor pricing might not align with board meeting dates; he said the purchase is expected to cover roughly 35 desktop units and that lead time for delivery and setup means the district prefers the flexibility rather than calling a special meeting. "I recommend the board to grant the superintendent authority to purchase desktop computers for next year, not to exceed $95,000," Doctor Scott said. The board moved, seconded and approved the authorization by voice vote.
Administrators said they will run the bid process and report back with final purchase amounts and installation timelines.
