5. Information

5.A. Copier Lease - The copier lease with Documation is (finally) expiring. The office staff have previously collected and evaluated bids, and expressed interest in going with Toshiba based on the upgraded equipment and rates proposed. Leakey ISD already has a new (renewed) lease with Toshiba, and have been happy with them. We will contact Leakey's Toshiba rep to see if a copier can be "added" at the Divide campus under Leakey's lease in order to save money. If that is not an option, then a new lease proposal will be presented to the Board at the June meeting.

Request for Proposal Notice - Depository Services: Divide is currently on their third (and final) extension of a depository contract with Security State Bank & Trust which will expire at the end of the fiscal year, on August 31, 2025.
