Information Technology Department – GML 103B
ComSource (NCPA 01-96)
Term – July 1, 2023 – June 30, 2024
Amount – Gross Total - $151,015.00

Scope – As part of the 2023-2024 E-Rate Cycle, the District submitted an application for additional Wireless Access Points. The additional wireless access points being requested will be deployed throughout the District to provide coverage in areas within schools that have little to no Wi-Fi coverage. We have submitted an E-Rate application for the purchase of the wireless access points and all necessary licensing, at a gross cost of $151,015.00. The discount rate is 85%, $128,362.75, leaving the District responsible for the remaining 15%, $22,652.25. The application has been successfully submitted and is pending review and approval by the E-Rate program.
