Trustees authorized administration to solicit bids for Chromebook replacements, with Superintendent Jake Henson saying the district will spread replacements over several years and explore grants and IMA funds to purchase devices.

The Center ISD board voted 7-0 on April 8 to authorize district administration to solicit bids for Chromebook purchases.
