Edgewood City Schools - Board of Education Meeting - 10/26/26

At the October 26, 2026 Edgewood City Schools Board of Education meeting, the board discussed a proposed three-year cycle for replacing student Chromebooks and staff computers to avoid large, one-time replacement costs. The plan was presented for feedback, not a vote; staff cited Chromebook auto-updates through 2036, rising device prices, and a potential buyback of up to $400 per eligible staff computer. The board separately approved an Apple quote at about $1,400 per machine (the total quantity and contract amount were not stated), with members discussing the devices’ management and cybersecurity benefits compared with alternatives. The quote passed 5–0.

The board also approved a City of Trenton school-resource-officer agreement at $39.10 per hour, as stated in the transcript. It approved an EPC resolution to release bids for review; Rush Truck was mentioned as a vendor the district has used, but no award was made and quotes will return for board consideration. The board authorized charter-bus services for FY27, including anticipated playoff travel to Columbus, citing driver availability and trip length; the current trip was charged to the athletics fund, with no charter price given. Donations were also approved, but no other major procurement award or capital project was identified.
