Rationale:
The 3 year lease for quantity 100 Lenovo laptops for $14,684 has been completed. Because of reduction in pricing, we are now able to replace that lease with one for 265 units for $12,761 per year for 3 years with a $1 payment at the end to own the computers outright instead of returning them. This will essentially allow us to put a laptop cart in every core classroom in middle and high school like we have in elementary school. All students would now have access to computers in every class.
