Open Agenda
Approve the continuation of the lease or maintenance of District software and hardware for FY 2014-2015.
District schools and departments utilize many curriculum and business software and hardware technology systems provided by various publishers and vendors. As part of the annual contract renewal, these publishers and vendors agree to provide maintenance and new releases to the District for an annual fee.
The agenda item requests spending authority approval to provide maintenance support for the next fiscal year (2014-2015) for each major curriculum and business software and hardware technology system. Contracts were negotiated with many of the vendors for better pricing with some contracts being canceled. The District staff will continue to negotiate additional savings where possible and monitor contracts throughout the year. Some items are at $0 since they have a multiple-year contract in place.
This aligns with the District Education Technology Plan (2013-2016) Goal 3: Information Technology (IT) Service Management & Support - Deliver customer-focused technical services and support to all schools and District departments.
The total projected expenditure for FY 2014-2015 is $8,901,179.91. Funding Sources: Food & Nutrition Services Budget - $314,896.33; Instruction & Intervention General Fund Budget - $7,253.00; Literacy State Funds - $405,538.00; Technical Education Workforce Funds - $641,825.33; and Information & Technology General Fund Budget - $7,531,667.25.
