Board OKs purchase of 310 staff laptops using technology millage
Summary
Trustees approved using technology millage funds to buy 310 Apple laptops for classroom teachers and coaches at a cost not to exceed $174,514.50; administration said devices would be purchased outright and refurbished machines redistributed to other staff.
The board approved a district purchase of 310 Apple laptops at a not‑to‑exceed cost of $174,514.50, funded by the technology millage. Administration said the devices are an outright purchase (not a lease), that technology millage receipts begin in December each year and that the district can repurpose and refurbish older machines for other staff when new machines are deployed.
Facilities/technology staff said the order is aimed primarily at classroom teachers and coaches; refurbished units would be given to support staff. Trustees confirmed the purchase will not draw from the general fund and, after questions about lifecycle and counts, voted to approve the expenditure.
