Acton-Agua Dulce Unified board adds E‑Rate filing, approves districtwide internet contracts
Summary
The school board added an April 1 FCC E‑Rate filing to the agenda and approved two vendor proposals to continue managed internet and WAN services: $254,000 through LACOE and $121,000 with Spectrum; Dr. Sahakian said the amounts ‘will will be reduced by 80 due to our e rate application,’ language the transcript leaves ambiguous.
The Acton-Agua Dulce Unified School District Board of Trustees on March 26 added an April 1 filing deadline for an FCC E‑Rate application to the agenda and approved districtwide internet and WAN contracts.
Superintendent Dr. Sahakian presented two vendor proposals, saying, “The 2 proposals in the amount of 254,000 through LACOE and a 121,000 for Spectrum will will be reduced by 80 due to our e rate application.” The board approved the item as an addendum and voted to proceed with the contracts and E‑Rate filing.
The superintendent said the proposals and supporting documents were attached to the board packet. The transcript record repeats the phrase “reduced by 80” without further clarification on whether that refers to dollars, thousands, or percentage reduction; the board did not add detail during the meeting.
Board members approved the proposals by voice vote. The decision will allow the district to continue managed internet access through the Los Angeles County Office of Education (LACOE) and maintain Spectrum network services between the district office and school sites. Next procedural steps listed in the meeting were filing the E‑Rate application by the April 1 deadline and returning with any contract paperwork or formal award language for implementation.
