| B. | MacBook Purchase Request | Vote | Lynne Goncalves | 10 m | |
|
Lynne will present a request for Board approval of a $162,110 purchase of MacBooks to support instructional and operational needs across the organization. The purchase was not included in the original FY26 budget plan and exceeds the Board’s $50,000 approval threshold requiring formal Board authorization. The committee will review the rationale for the purchase, funding source, implementation timeline, and long-term technology planning considerations before making a recommendation to the full Board.
As part of our long-term technology strategy and in response to the increasing replacement needs of our current device fleet, school leadership recommends transitioning teacher and staff laptops from Lenovo Windows-based devices to Apple MacBooks. Currently, approximately 60% of staff Lenovo laptops require replacement due to age, declining performance, hardware reliability issues, and increasing maintenance demands. Rather than reinvesting in another cycle of Windows-based devices, leadership believes this is the appropriate opportunity to strategically transition to a more durable, higher-performing, and longer-lasting platform that better supports staff productivity and organizational efficiency.
This vote should be ratified by the full Board at the June 2026 Board Meeting. |
