Board approves E-rate purchases: AT&T hotspots and network switches for future capacity
Summary
The board approved AT&T mobile hotspots and 22Vets network switches through the E-rate program to support student connectivity and future network growth, with reimbursement rates noted in the presentation.
The board approved two technology purchases through the federal E-rate program on May 5.
The district will purchase AT&T mobile hotspot devices and service for student and staff connectivity under E-rate (90% reimbursement). The board noted hotspots are assigned to students without home internet access and used as emergency backups for staff during outages; the approved amount was $2,655.
Separately, the board approved purchase of network switches from 22Vets to “future-proof” the network for additional cameras and equipment; the 22Vets equipment was approved for $11,495.97 and will be reimbursed through E-rate at 85%.
Both items were reviewed by finance and approved by roll-call vote.
