Board approves $500,000 technology lease and maintenance lease to smooth replacement cycles
Summary
The board approved the annual $500,000 technology lease to maintain a consistent device‑replacement cycle and also approved a maintenance/transportation lease covering vehicle and equipment replacements (dump‑body trailer, van, scrubber, vacuums).
The RSU 18 board approved two lease agreements intended to preserve steady capital replacement cycles. The superintendent said the district uses annual technology leases (this year $500,000) to avoid budgetary peaks and valleys and to maintain an ongoing replacement plan; the board voted to proceed with the $500,000 lease.
The board also reviewed and approved a maintenance/transportation lease covering a dump‑body trailer, a replacement van, a floor scrubber and several vacuums. Board members asked for historical documentation and a timeline of past lease investments to aid future review; staff agreed to provide a visual timeline at a subsequent meeting.
