The Henry County Board of Education voted at its Jan. 13 regular meeting to approve a contract for the replacement of aging equipment in school data closets that support school-wide network connectivity. The school district is responsible for 20 percent of the total $2,017,363 cost, or $429,854.37.

Implementation of the new equipment should take place over the course of the next several months.
