At the May 11, 2026 regular meeting, Activities Director/tech lead Brandon Brown presented a 2026-27 technology purchase plan developed with representatives from Grant Wood AEA. The plan totals 60,600 in staff and student devices for the 2026-27 school year and was unanimously approved by the board. This indicates that the district has committed funding for a defined refresh of instructional and staff devices, likely including laptops or tablets, for the coming year. For vendors, the primary selection for this refresh is already made, but the specifics of device mix, deployment support, and ancillary services (cases, carts, MDM, classroom management, STEM tools) are not detailed. This creates follow-on opportunities around peripheral equipment, software licensing, implementation support, warranty and repair services, and planning for the next refresh cycle. The collaboration with Grant Wood AEA also signals that future device or EdTech procurements may align with AEA standards and timelines.

Plan is for staff and student devices; exact models and vendors are not named in the minutes.
