The board approved two E‑Rate projects — UPS equipment for $176,550.16 and structured fiber cabling for $104,087.40 — and heard a firewall recommendation that will return for a vote April 23, 2026.
The Novi Community School District Board approved two E‑Rate infrastructure purchases at its March 19 meeting: Delta Networking Services was approved for E‑Rate Network Electronics (UPS) for $176,550.16 (motion by Treasurer Kliebert) and Complete Interactive Technologies Inc. was approved for structured cabling (fiber) for $104,087.40 (motion by Trustee Roney). Both motions passed by unanimous 6–0 votes.
Separately, Assistant Superintendent Giromini and Director of Technology Jason Smith presented an E‑Rate firewall recommendation; the minutes record that the firewall proposal will return to the board for a vote at the April 23, 2026 Regular Board meeting. The minutes do not include technical specifications, project phasing, or E‑Rate discount rates — those details were not provided at the meeting and are expected with the April 23 packet.
