Board approves $83,948 network upgrade after cybersecurity questions
Summary
The board approved an $83,948.30 contract with AMS.NET / MGT Impact Solutions for a network upgrade at the district office and professional development center; trustees asked staff to show capitalization/funding details and cited a recent phishing incident as context for urgency.
Board members approved a capital network upgrade contract with AMS.NET / MGT Impact Solutions for $83,948.30, which staff described as "end of life" replacement for hardware that no longer receives security patches. Assistant Superintendent Sharp and trustees noted a recent phishing incident and said replacing end-of-life equipment reduces vulnerability.
Trustees requested that staff clarify which funding sources will be used and to show capitalization details so the board understands the multi-year budget treatment. The motion (moved by Trustee Modi, seconded by Trustee Olson) passed with five ayes; staff agreed to include funding-source notes in future capitalized-expenditure staff reports.
