# Dodge City Public Schools  - Board of Education Meeting October 12, 2026

The Dodge City Public Schools Board of Education meeting on October 12, 2026, included several software and equipment purchasing items. The board considered a three-year Google Workspace Plus license renewal through CDW, averaging about $42,000 per year, with a first-year cost of $40,824, funded from LOB technology funds. The license supports Chromebook management, staff access to Google tools, and AI-related features. A motion and second were recorded, but the transcript does not capture the final vote. The district also requested a one-year Alio accounting and business-management software renewal to maintain access during its transition to Skyward and for audit needs; the stated amount is garbled in the transcript (approximately $59,785), and the motion’s outcome is not captured. A planned capital-outlay purchase of tables and chairs for high school math classrooms, totaling $159,470, was approved by vote. The transcript records no vendor name for that purchase.

The board also received a presentation on school-finance weightings and district funding, including at-risk, bilingual, transportation, and special-education funding. The superintendent described planning work on expanding pre-K, potentially using carried-over at-risk funds; no spending authorization was requested. The meeting also included student and school updates, staff recognition, and routine agenda and consent-agenda business. No other procurement actions were identified.
