Board approves e-Rate-funded WAN and switching purchases totaling about $105,010
Summary
The board accepted bids to purchase a WAN connection for Jackson Elementary ($25,164 over three years) and internal switching/licensing ($79,846), noting a district e-Rate reimbursement rate of 70% from the Federal Communications Commission.
The Technology Committee recommended and the board accepted two e-Rate-related purchases: a WAN connection for Jackson Elementary from In The Stix for $25,164 spread over three years beginning July 1, 2026, and internal switching and licensing from Access Agility for $79,846 (sales quote #26122). Both motions passed unanimously.
The minutes state the district's e-Rate reimbursement rate from the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) is 70 percent, which will reduce the district’s net cost once reimbursements are processed under the federal program. The board did not list contract start dates beyond the WAN beginning July 1, 2026; procurement and invoice timing will follow e-Rate funding rules.
