Board authorizes master lease purchase agreement with Apple, Inc.
Summary
The board approved a resolution authorizing a Master Lease Purchase Agreement with Apple, Inc.; the action follows a district scorecard update that referenced a high-school iPad pilot and exploration of AI tools.
The New Buffalo Area Schools Board of Education voted to authorize execution and delivery of a Master Lease Purchase Agreement with Apple, Inc. during its March 23 meeting.
District administration presented the resolution from the Superintendent and Director of Finance and recommended approval "per the attached resolution." John Haskins moved the resolution and Stephen Donnelly seconded; the board recorded "All ayes, motion carried." The motion authorizes district leaders to complete the lease-purchase process consistent with the terms attached to the resolution.
The action aligns with a cabinet presentation earlier in the meeting in which administrators described a high-school iPad pilot and an expanded focus on technology and exploration of appropriate artificial intelligence tools for staff and students. The board did not discuss dollar amounts or lease terms during the public motion; those details are in the attached resolution referenced at the meeting.
