Board approves staff laptop purchase, citing end‑of‑life desktops and security concerns
Summary
The Board approved purchase of staff laptops and docking stations to replace end‑of‑life desktops; Tech Coordinator Chase Colligan said desktops "are at their end of life and could create security issues."
Chase Colligan, GITS Tech Coordinator, told the board the district presented two proposals to replace aging desktops: a configuration of laptops paired with docking stations to improve mobility and usability for staff. "The current desktops are at their end of life and could create security issues," Colligan said.
Trustees approved the purchase of laptops (Motion Tonova, support Cihak; ayes all). The transcript shows separate votes for docking stations and laptops; the laptop motion passed by voice vote with unanimous support. The purchase was presented as a proactive replacement to address security and functionality risks associated with older desktop hardware.
