The Hays school board is set to take up issues involving district technology at its meeting at 6:30 p.m. tonight at the Rockwell Administration Center.
The district is set to vote on the purchase of a new business software system.
The cost of the new system will be $72,371, which will be paid over three years. There will be an additional $26,340 annual fee for the service.
The board will also consider a contract with K12ict for a district technology assessment. The assessment will cost $5,600 with the goal of managing resources more efficiently, increasing the effectiveness of staff use of technology, producing high student achievement and improving communication.
If approved, the assessment would include a review of hardware and software, as well as focus groups with administration and teachers.
The board will also discuss a board agenda policy.
