Board authorizes switch to US Bank purchase card program; E‑Rate Letters secure discounts
Summary
The board approved changing the district purchase card vendor from BMO to US Bank to remain in a consortium rebate program and staff reported signed Letters of Agreement to secure discounted E‑Rate funding for network hardware and fiber maintenance.
The Board approved a vendor change for the district purchase card consortium, moving from BMO Bank to US Bank after a competitive RFP process. The motion was moved by Mr. Egeler, supported by Mr. Smith, and passed unanimously. The change preserves the district's participation in the consortium rebate program.
Director of Finance Danielle Banasiak also reported that Letters of Agreement were signed to secure discounted E‑Rate funding for power supply units, network switches and maintenance of the fiber line between Betsie Valley and the main campus. Banasiak noted the Letters of Agreement do not obligate the district to final contracts but secure eligibility for E‑Rate discounts pending later contract approvals.
