technology bids

E-rate bids presented by Matt Gilbert-

- ESSER 1 allocated funds must be used before ESSER 2 allocated funds are used. The technology bid upgrades won't come out of the JICHS budget. ESSER funds can be used for purchasing educational technology (including hardware, software, and connectivity).

Oncore's bid is the only one that listed everything item by item and the full cost. Cat 6 cables are the only concern that Mr. Gilbert has. An additional 15-18k might need to be added for the cables (for wifi units). 320K would take care of the entirety of the project.

Net Source bid was too expensive(it was 40k more)

Converge left off the cabling

Mr. Gilbert and the technology team make the recommendation to go w/ Oncore's bid earmarking 320K for a network/technology upgrade.

Motion to accept Oncore's bid up to 320K

By: Timothy Thorn Seconded by: Andrew Drake

The Finance chair (Mr. Hays) will bring the committee recommendation to the Board of directors meeting on 3/24 for final approval.
