The board voted to approve payment of $13,590 to Lemonix Incorporated, DBA GoGuardian, and Pear Deck Learning for the district's annual renewal of GoGuardian teacher and administrator licenses for the 2026–27 school year. The chair summarized the recommendation: "The invoice includes 900 GoGuardian teachers license, 900 GoGuardian administrators licenses, total cost $13,590." Trustee McAlpine Taylor asked for clarification about how the licensing model ties to student and teacher seats; the superintendent explained the platform is provisioned one-to-one and teacher/administrator licenses are linked to student licenses.
Trustees also discussed GoGuardian's safety features. Superintendent Perry said the system can run word searches for concerns such as suicidal ideation or threats and alert the tech team for follow-up. "So in the event that a student is on something that they shouldn't be on, as a teacher, I can just close out that window," Perry said, explaining the classroom management function. The motion carried with the ayes prevailing.
