The Paw Paw Public School District board approved buying 66 Vivacity Tech Rise 36-unit smart charging carts for $49,450.50, to be paid from designated district bond funds so the purchase will not affect the general operating budget.
The Paw Paw Public School District Board of Education voted Monday to approve the purchase of 66 Vivacity Tech Rise 36-Unit smart charging carts for a total of $49,450.50, to be funded entirely from designated district bond funds.

According to the motion recorded in the meeting, "President McNitt took a MOTION to APPROVE the purchase of 66 Vivacity Tech Rise 36-Unit Smart Charging Carts for a grand total of $49,450.50 from Vivacity Tech PBC."
