Paradise ISD approves $129,000 SkyRider contract for fiber to new high school, contingent on E‑Rate funding
Summary
The board approved a $129,000 contract with SkyRider Communications to install a self‑provisioned fiber network to the new high school; the district's share would be $51,000 if E‑Rate funding is approved.
The Paradise ISD Board approved a contract with SkyRider Communications for a self‑provisioned fiber network to connect the new high school. Doug Bryant presented the proposal and the contract amount of $129,000; he said that, if E‑Rate funding is approved, the district’s portion would be $51,000.
Bryant told the board the work will require permits for right‑of‑way or an aerial path and that SkyRider will determine the best route. The board approved the contract by a recorded vote of 5–0. Bryant emphasized the district will own the fiber after installation and that action was needed now to meet the schedule for the start of school next August.
