Wink-Loving ISD to donate old laptops to Class of 2025; one trustee abstains
Summary
The board approved a resolution to donate four-year-old laptops to all seniors in the Class of 2025, noting an estimated $2,000 revenue loss; the motion passed 5–0 with Trustee Jerome Dewberry abstaining because his daughter is a senior.
On April 14 the board approved a resolution donating existing four-year-old laptops to the district's Class of 2025. Administration noted many students had previously paid the technology user fee and estimated the district would forfeit about $2,000 by donating the devices.
Trustee Chad Evans moved approval and Trustee Raymond Dodd seconded; the minutes record the motion and the vote: “I move the Board Approve the Resolution for the Senior Laptops as presented.” The motion passed 5–0 with Trustee Jerome Dewberry abstaining because his daughter is a senior, a conflict noted in the minutes.
The minutes record the board's approval and the stated fiscal impact but do not list distribution details or a device condition report; those operational tasks appear to be delegated to administration.
