Board approves $10,847 district contribution for E‑Rate technology upgrade
Summary
The board approved the district’s 15% share (about $10,847) of an E‑Rate‑supported technology upgrade to replace network switches and wireless equipment that are reaching end of life so procurement can proceed.
District staff presented an E‑Rate proposal to replace end‑of‑life network switches and wireless equipment and asked the board to approve the district’s local share so work could begin. Staff said the federal E‑Rate program would cover about 85% of eligible costs and that the district’s 15% share would be roughly $10,847.
The proposal was presented as necessary because current devices are reaching end of manufacturer support this year. A board member moved to approve the district contribution so contractors could begin preparations for next fiscal year’s work; the motion was seconded and approved by roll call.
Board members noted that the upgrade would be included in next year’s budget and that timely approval allows vendors and E‑Rate administrators to begin procurement steps.
