Board approves five‑year Wi‑Fi upgrade with federal funding covering 85%
Summary
The board approved a five‑year wireless infrastructure upgrade to expand district Wi‑Fi, awarding the low bid to Pinnacle Network; the superintendent said federal support would cover about 85% of costs, leaving roughly 15% to the district.
Mr. Willis described a five‑year wireless infrastructure upgrade for district Wi‑Fi and recommended awarding the low bid to Pinnacle Network. "This would be a 5 year agreement where the federal government plays 85%. So we're only billed for 15%," Willis said, and he asked the board to approve the recommendation to the low bidder listed on the agenda tab.
After a motion and second, the board approved the recommendation by voice vote. The board did not detail the total contract value during the meeting; Mr. Willis characterized the work as an essential technology upgrade for classrooms and district sites.
