Summary
A technology consultant report reviewed by the Regional School District 17 Finance Subcommittee identified immediate needs—anti‑virus upgrades for $21,606 and a server license for $648—and recommended adding approximately $430,000 in technology projects to the district capital plan, with some funding from E‑rate.
The Regional School District 17 Finance Subcommittee reviewed a technology consultant report on Aug. 12, 2025 that documented immediate and future technology needs for the district. Chair Joseph Centofanti and Interim Superintendent Paul Smith were present for the discussion; the Finance Department summarized cost estimates.
The minutes record immediate needs that include an upgrade to anti‑virus protection for district services and computers estimated at $21,606 and the purchase of a license for two new servers estimated at $648. The subcommittee recorded that additional review of the server upgrade will be completed and that some costs are expected to be covered by E‑rate funding. All items from the consultant report will be added to the District‑wide capital plan at a total estimated cost of $430,000.
Members asked staff to provide further information on the server upgrade and the planned capital funding sources before the items are finalized in the capital plan. The record indicates that staff will return with additional details as part of the capital plan process.
