Board asked to approve three-year Google Workspace pricing arrangement totaling $71,115 for year one
Summary
District staff asked the board to adopt a new three-year Google Workspace pricing arrangement for 14,000 student licenses and 2,500 staff licenses at $4.31 per license in year one (rising to $4.79 in years 2–3), with the district paying $71,115 for the coming year.
Mr. Benson told the board the district seeks to renew its Google Workspace for Education arrangement and lock in three-year pricing while paying year-to-year. "We're asking for, the adoption of a new 3 year contract... 14,000 student licenses and for 2,500, staff licenses at a rate of, $4.31 per license," Benson said, and added that the three-year renewal includes price increases to $4.79 in years two and three. He said the amount requested for the coming year is $71,115.
Benson said Google has become the district's standard platform (Google Docs, Slides and email) but that the district could consider Microsoft options; board members asked about whether prepaying all three years would reduce cost (Benson said prepaying did not reduce the per-license pricing). The administration described the contract as annual-pay but with locked three-year pricing for planning purposes; no final vote was recorded in the work session transcript.
