The board faces a 472 146 contract with Microtech Computers of Lawrence to buy 460 computers. The package would draw from the district 1.2 million capital outlay for technology and allocate 190 to Free State High School, 125 to Lawrence High School, and 145 for district school support staff.
Superintendent Randy Weseman says the district will replace units over five years old not supported by the network. Funding comes from the capital outlay fund not for hiring teachers. Leavenworth High School will receive new computers for business and journalism and the library lab. Free State will upgrade all lab and teacher computers.
