        Agenda Item Type: 
Action Item     
    
        Rationale: 
 
    I recommend the purchase of 114 elementary school teacher computers from CDW-G as part of the Access OakRidge technology initiative.

The $121,296 for this purchase comes from the Anderson County joint resolution funds. 
        Recommended Motion(s): 
Motion to approve the purchase of the elementary school teacher laptops Passed with a motion by Board Member #1 and a second by Board Member #2.
