After staff presented a pilot and survey, trustees expressed strong direction to phase out the Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) policy starting next school year and recommended refreshing student devices with Chromebooks for grades 2–6 while considering shared iPad carts for K–1.

Glynn County Schools authorized a $2,935,560.10 purchase to refresh middle school computing (4,094 devices including 14-inch student devices, carts, licensing and repair service), funded from eSplos funds; board approved the contract unanimously.

IT staff proposed a differentiated student‑device model and a five‑year refresh commitment of about $4.6 million per year to stabilize repairs, warranties and instructional displays; the board voted to table the item and refer it to a future work session for more detailed scenarios and budget tradeoffs.
