[quote=Anonymous]Actual memo
https://go.boarddocs.com/mabe/mcpsmd/Board.nsf/files/D5WRBX6A8F88/$file/Cont%20Apprv%20RFP%20121923%20Tech%20Products%20Servcs%20Solutions%20Ext.pdf

"The Montgomery County Public Schools (MCPS) Office of Strategic Initiatives is seeking Board of Education approval to continue making purchases of technology solutions (hardware and services) through the Sourcewell technology solutions contract, under Request for Proposal No. 121923, Technology Products with Services and Related Solutions; and approval to finance a portion of these purchases through the Master Lease/Purchase Agreement with Banc of America Public Capital Corporation. It is recommended that the Board of Education approve this contract through June 30, 2025.

This contract is funded by the MCPS Fiscal Year (FY) 2023–2028 approved Capital Improvements Program (CIP), the FY 2025 Operating Budget, and several grants awarded to MCPS which include allocable technology purchases. A total of $14,225,000 is projected to be funded in the FY 2023–2028 CIP, [b]and $10,775,000 is projected to be funded in the FY 2025 Operating Budget or the Independent Student Activity Funds.[/b] An estimated $9,980,000 will be financed over four years, and an additional $5,000,000 is projected for potential grant-funded purchases, which brings the estimated total amount available for the purchase of technology products and services for FY 2025 to $30,000,000."

To me, this looks like a copy-paste oversight from a different memo. There's no relation between the IAF funds and technology purchases, unless there is something specific in that Sourcewell is providing that is used directly by the schools to manage student activities.

Certainly worth asking the question, but not exactly worthy of the inflammatory thread title.[/quote]
