CISD approves $70,000 purchase for 300 Chromebooks to be paid with grant and Title funds
Summary
The board authorized spending $70,000 to purchase 300 Chromebooks before the end of the budget year; administration noted the purchase will be funded with grant and Title funds. Three vendor bids were received.
Administration reported receiving three bids to purchase 300 Chromebooks from CDW-G, Howard Technology Solutions, and Staples Technology Solutions. Trustee Casey Lout moved to authorize Richard Miller to spend $70,000 to purchase the devices; Trustee James Ragan seconded and the motion carried 5-0.
Superintendent Jake Henson told trustees the Chromebooks will be purchased with grant and Title funds. Minutes note that because a purchase order will be submitted the following morning, the price could be higher if delayed, which informed the board's decision to authorize immediate spending within the current budget year.
