Floresville ISD approves $130,000 purchase for roughly 500 Chromebooks
Summary
The board approved a technology purchase exceeding $50,000 — roughly 500 Chromebooks and management licenses from CDW‑G for about $130,000 — funded through the technology allotment, instructional materials funds, Title funds and local funds.
District technology staff presented a multi‑year replacement plan and requested board approval for a purchase exceeding the $50,000 threshold. The requested purchase included roughly 500 Chromebooks and required management licenses; administration said CDW‑G offered the most cost‑effective proposal after reviewing three vendors.
“Each of these devices has an expected lifespan of up to 8 years,” the presenter said, explaining the district’s staggered replacement approach to minimize long‑term expenditures. The total purchase was presented as $130,000 and procurement will be supported through a mix of technology and instructional‑materials allotment funds, some Title funding and local funds. Trustees approved the administration’s recommendation by voice vote, 7–0.
