Renews district-wide Microsoft licenses through Softchoice for up to $190,447.29 a year

The district would buy its Microsoft software licenses through the reseller Softchoice for three years, up to $190,447.29 each year and $571,341.87 in total. The Board is using a legal exception to public bidding (called the Graydon exception), so the district is not running a competitive bid for this purchase.
