The Hononegah Community High School District 207 board on Sept. 17 approved the purchase of 500 Chromebook devices and associated licensing from Dell Marketing LP for $107,695. The motion was made by Mary Lewis and seconded by Joshua Ballard and passed on a unanimous roll call of present board members.
Board and administrative materials presented the purchase as part of classroom-technology planning for the coming year. Finance Committee materials were cited during the motion. "Motion by Lewis, seconded by Ballard, to approve the purchase of 500 Chromebook devices and licenses from Dell Marketing LP in the amount of $107,695.00 as recommended by the Finance Committee," the meeting record states. The board did not record a roll-call split; seven members voted in favor.
District leaders said the purchase aligns with strategic-plan items for student-device access and Chromebook refresh cycles. The board did not specify which budget line will fund the purchase during the meeting; the Finance Director reported year-to-date revenues and expenses but did not identify a dedicated capital line for this purchase. Next steps include procurement under the recommended vendor contract and installation or distribution to schools as scheduled by district technology staff.
