Board approves Chromebook replacement purchase for secondary campus
Summary
Trustees approved a purchase to replace aging Chromebooks at the secondary campus, including extended warranties and spares; presenters said the replacement would extend device life by about three years and spare units will be swapped when repairs are needed.
The board voted to approve a purchase to replace the secondary campus's original Chromebooks purchased at the start of the COVID pandemic.
A presenter told the board, "This will finish out replacing all of our original, chromes that we purchased at the beginning of COVID," and said the new devices include extended warranties and spares so teachers can exchange broken units while repairs complete. Board members asked whether spares would be available; the presenter confirmed spares were planned.
A motion to approve the Chromebook replacement was moved and seconded; the chair called the question and the board approved the item.
Why it matters: Replacing aging devices and adding warranties and spares is intended to reduce classroom downtime and extend the useful life of instructional technology.
