The Mississippi State Board of Education voted on several procurement and consent items during the Dec. 18 meeting in Jackson.
Miss Williams presented a five‑year contract with Toshiba America Business Solutions to provide copiers for MDE at a total cost of $11,000,000. The board approved the contract on a motion by Mr. Mayo and a second by Dr. Barrett; the chair called for the ayes and recorded no opposition.
The board approved the consent agenda (items 8 a–n) including an approval to purchase a bus for the Mississippi School for Mathematics and Science; Mr. Mayo recused himself on the bus purchase item. Earlier in the meeting Board members had pulled item 7ks (an updated internal audit chart) from the consent agenda; after discussion they moved to table that item to the January meeting so members could review circulated materials and get fuller consideration.
Next scheduled meeting: Jan. 16, 2026, 10:00 a.m., Jackson (4th Floor Boardroom).
