Board approves student laptop refresh and interactive classroom displays
Summary
Trustees approved purchases for 110 Dell student laptops ($89,988.80) funded by a technology grant and 24 interactive classroom displays ($59,255) financed by two instructional/technology grants; the board discussed home use, warranties and rollout timing.
District technology staff presented two procurement requests to update student devices and classroom displays.
Mr. Garcia requested approval to purchase 110 Dell laptops for incoming 3rd- and 9th-grade cohorts (50 and 60 units respectively) at a total cost of $89,988.80 to be funded from a technology grant. Board members discussed whether devices would be classroom-only or allowed home use; staff said elementary devices would be used in class this year with plans to expand home checkout after a fall semester training program.
Miss Lopez requested purchase of 24 interactive display boards (referred to in the packet as "smart TVs") for PreK-8 classrooms at a cost of $59,255. Presenters clarified these are interactive instructional displays (similar to Promethean boards) rather than consumer televisions. Both purchases were approved by voice vote.
