Board approves agreement with T-Mobile on district spectrum license under NDA
Summary
Mission CISD authorized an agreement with T-Mobile related to district-held spectrum rights; administration noted the district leases the spectrum for about $150,000 a year and that pricing is covered by an NDA. The Board approved the agreement 6-0.
The Board authorized administration to proceed with an agreement with T-Mobile regarding district-held spectrum rights. Deputy Superintendent Joel Garcia said the district has historically leased the spectrum (bringing recurring revenue) and that technology changes over decades have limited direct district use; pricing details are restricted by a nondisclosure agreement administrators signed.
Trustees discussed whether the district could use the spectrum directly and noted that coordinated regional efforts would be required to make significant use for district internet or wireless services. The Board approved the agreement 6-0.
