Board signs off on laptop and Chromebook purchases, authorizes substitute staffing pilot
Summary
Trustees approved purchases of staff laptops and 500 Chromebooks (corrected funding source) via CMAS and authorized a pilot agreement with Swing Education for substitute staffing through the remainder of 2025–26 to test fulfillment and cost savings.
The board approved a series of technology purchases and a substitute‑staffing pilot intended to stabilize classroom coverage. Dr. Wilds described two duplicate items that required a funding‑source correction from the prior meeting before moving forward with laptop and Chromebook purchases under CMAS contract 334051014; "this is the cleanup that I mentioned," she said. Trustees then approved the corrected purchases.
On staffing, the administration presented a pilot agreement with Swing Education to provide substitute teachers for the remainder of the 2025–26 school year. Staff said the district negotiated a consortium rate that is lower than the current vendor Scoot Education but still more expensive than in‑house substitutes; the pilot will test fulfillment rates and substitute quality before any longer‑term contract is recommended. The board approved the pilot.
