Committee presses for SOP and spending data on Yondr pouches after distribution problems

Committee members raised recurring complaints about Yondr pouches: distribution delays, lost devices, unclear replacement policy and repeated invoice requests. One member said the committee previously required principals to manage pouches and asked why accountability slipped in year two.

S7 reported receiving "several envelopes full of money" from parents who paid to replace lost pouches and suggested the committee put receipts into a revolving account with a dedicated code. Members asked staff to produce data on annual spending, device loss rates, and whether current policies and enforcement (replacement fees) are being followed; staff agreed to consult with HR and procurement and to report back at the next meeting.
