9.B. Discuss and Consider Approval of an Expenditure Exceeding $50,000 for the Purchase of Classroom and Student Technology Description: Administration is seeking approval to purchase 12 Boxlight panels, 85 Chromebooks, and 30 laptops utilizing Title I funds. This project is intended to enhance instructional technology, increase student access to digital learning tools, and support effective teaching and learning across campuses. The proposed devices have been carefully selected to ensure age-appropriate use, reliability, and long-term value for the district. This investment supports the district’s ongoing commitment to providing modern, inclusive, and well-equipped learning environments that directly benefit student achievement and support the needs of Title I programs. The proposal was secured through a BuyBoard cooperative vendor, meeting all required procurement guidelines. Utilizing this cooperative purchasing method ensures compliance, offers cost efficiencies, and provides a rebate benefit to the district. Pending Board approval, the district will move forward with ordering to ensure timely delivery and implementation.
