District creates Technology Reserve to smooth device replacements
Summary
The board approved Resolution No. 25-06 establishing a board-controlled Technology Reserve fund (estimated target contribution $278,875 annually) to plan phased replacement of Chromebooks and interactive TVs and avoid end-of-year spending pressures.
Director of Operations Daymond Monteith proposed and the board approved Resolution No. 25-06 to create a Technology Reserve account restricted by board resolution for planned replacement and upgrade of district technology. Monteith described the problem: the district has roughly 3,200 Chromebooks at an average cost of $270 and estimates a 15% annual replacement rate (about $129,000 per year), plus interactive TVs and other infrastructure needs.
The proposed reserve would receive interfund transfers from the general fund when resources permit, enabling phased replacements rather than last-minute year-end spending. The board voted unanimously to create the Technology Reserve and asked for ongoing reporting from the Business Office about contributions and planned replacements.
