From the meeting
At its October 15, 2026 meeting, the administration asked the Board to approve replacement of the main DNS servers and camera servers, plus new storage for additional cameras. The quote was $276,614 for servers and $691,529 for storage, for a total of $968,143. SHI was the quoted reseller using Dell through Omnia Co-op, with Fortinet FortiGate 901G included for DNS backup/firewall support.
This is a decided purchase request with implementation implications for district IT, cameras, phones, fob entry, and HVAC support.
