Board authorizes reverse auction for 2,300 student Chromebooks
Summary
Board approved advertising a reverse auction to procure 2,300 Chromebooks for the district's grades 3, 6 and 9 refresh cycle; the procurement is the district's annual device refresh for those grades.
The Lamar County School District Board approved advertising a reverse auction to purchase 2,300 Chromebooks as the annual refresh for grades 3, 6 and 9. The motion was made by Jared Slade and seconded by Shae Farmer and passed on a recorded vote of Yea 4, Nay 0, Absent 1.
Director of Technology Ross Randall submitted a memo describing the request and the device count: "This purchase is our annual refresh for grades 3, 6 and 9 and will be for 2,300 Chromebooks." The vote authorized staff to advertise the procurement via reverse auction; award decisions will return to the board after bid evaluation and cost analysis.
The procurement uses district funds and follows the standard competitive process. The board did not approve vendor selection or a specific per‑unit price at this meeting.
