The boards had an open discussion about the needs of districts and the direction YCETC should move in, in order to provide the most support to schools. Both boards agreed that a consolidation of IT directors countywide will still be the most beneficial to all schools. Mr. Carter advised the boards that Yavapai College is still interested in partnering for consolidated IT services as well. The boards agreed that it is necessary to get back on track with bulk purchasing and providing staffing for technology.
