Board members approved a capital purchase to replace aging student devices—Chromebooks and iPads—using approximately $350,000 in capital funds and also approved Budget Amendment Number 4 for the 2025–26 fiscal year after a report from the finance committee.
A board member described the purchase as replacement of older models to maintain device availability for students. The motion to approve the capital purchase was moved and seconded and recorded as carried by voice vote.
The finance committee presented monthly fund reports earlier in the meeting and the board approved Budget Amendment Number 4 by voice vote; the chair thanked the finance committee for its work.
Why it matters: Device replacement affects classroom technology access and instructional continuity. Budget amendments alter district financial allocations for the year and are a routine yet significant fiscal control.
What the record shows: The technology purchase and budget amendment motions were moved, seconded and carried unanimously; the meeting transcript does not record roll‑call vote totals.
