Contract AwardInformation TechnologyDetected May 18, 2026

At the April 20, 2026 regular board meeting, the School District of Arcadia approved a multi-part technology device rotation plan after questions to tech lead Brad Malpert. The board authorized four specific purchases: replacement of 1st grade iPads with touch-screen Chromebooks (not to exceed 35000), district Chromebook replacements under “Option 2” (not to exceed 19000), new non-touch mobile devices for elementary and high school teachers (not to exceed 63000), and replacement of aging document cameras under “Option 2” (not to exceed 8000). This action locks in funding and approvals for substantial student and staff device upgrades, though the minutes do not name specific vendors for Chromebooks, teacher devices, or document cameras.For vendors, this is decided budget but still relevant as an opportunity for device supply, imaging, asset management, accessories, deployment services, and training, especially if the district has not yet placed all orders or needs implementation support. Follow-up conversations can focus on how to support this refresh cycle and position for the next rotation window.

Board motion carried 7-0, indicating strong support for ongoing, cyclical device refresh planning.
