Board approves 36‑month AT&T wide area network agreement with anticipated E‑rate discounts
Summary
The board approved a 36‑month AT&T agreement for district wide area network connectivity; the district expects an E‑rate discount that would lower local payments to 10% of the monthly cost.
The Santa Rita Union School Board approved a 36‑month agreement with AT&T to provide wide area network (WAN) Ethernet connectivity to district sites and Monterey County Office of Education connectivity.
District staff said AT&T’s bid was the most cost‑effective among proposals. The contract term is 36 months with a standard 12‑month extension option. The quoted monthly rate from AT&T was $4,428; staff provided a 36‑month total of $159,408. With the district’s anticipated E‑rate discount, staff said the district’s share would be 10 percent of the monthly cost—$442.80 per month—until E‑rate funding is applied.
The board moved, seconded and approved the agreement by recorded vote “Motion 3 0.” District staff said installation and service would cover all six district sites and connectivity with the county office.
The board did not amend contract terms during the meeting; staff will proceed with procurement and E‑rate application steps.
