Board approves purchase of 350 Chromebooks for student device refresh
Summary
Board approved purchase of 350 Chromebooks as part of a multi-year device refresh; staff presented pricing for K-5 devices and said the overall refresh will include additional devices for other grades and staff.
District technology staff (S10) presented a request to purchase 350 Chromebooks as a portion of the district's device refresh. The presentation explained that the run covers K-2 and K-5 devices now and that additional devices for grades 6-12 and staff will follow as part of the broader refresh plan.
During the discussion a board member asked about the total projected cost for the full refresh; staff indicated the larger refresh would be closer to previously discussed figures and presented per-unit pricing and taxes for the motion on the floor.

The motion authorized staff to proceed with the purchase as presented; the board did not adopt additional spending limits or change funding sources at the meeting.
