District warns 1:1 laptops are aging out; levy would fund replacements after one-time ESSER purchases
Summary
Officials said district laptops were purchased with one-time federal ESSER funds and are nearing end-of-life; the levy is intended to maintain a 1:1 Chromebook program and cover replacement and operating costs.
The presenter told the board that the district’s 1:1 laptop rollout was purchased with one-time federal COVID-era ESSER funds and that the devices are now aging out, leaving replacement and ongoing operating expenses in need of local support. "Those laptops were all purchased to go 1 on 1... Those are aging out, and that purchase was with federal 1 time money from COVID and ESSER," the presenter said.
She framed the levy as a tool to sustain technology, curriculum-adoption expenses and materials that support interventions. The board asked clarifying questions but did not make a funding decision during the recorded segments; the levy overview positioned technology replacement as a core use of the renewal levy.
