Term – July 1, 2023 – June 30, 2025
Amount of Subscription – $72,000.00 annually

Scope – The District is seeking to continue with the existing Internet Access Provider, Altice/Cablevision Lightpath, for an additional two years. Currently we subscribe to a dual 10 gigabits per second (gbps) circuits which provides Internet access to all District locations. This resolution will continue the subscription to the both existing circuits that provide Internet access throughout the District. Having both circuits allows us to load balance the Internet traffic which in turn provides faster response times to all of our schools. The gross annual cost of the circuits is $72,000.00 ($6,000.00 gross monthly cost) is E-Rate eligible at a 90% (E-Rate portion - $64,800.00) discount, leaving the District’s share at 10% ($7,200.00). All of the applicable forms and applications will be filed accordingly.

RESOLUTION:
WHEREAS the District is seeking to continue our Internet access for all District locations, and,
WHEREAS the District currently subscribes to dual 10gbps Internet access circuit servicing all District locations, and,
WHEREAS the District’s Internet access is currently provided by Altice/Cablevision Lightpath via two 10 gigabit per second (gbps) circuits. Approval of this resolution would allow the District to continue our subscription for both circuits for the next three years, which currently reside in the Data Center at One Larkin Center and Yonkers Montessori Academy. Having both circuits active gives the District the ability to load balance the Internet traffic thereby providing faster response times to all schools. This service is eligible for E-Rate discounts at 90% leaving the District responsible for 10% of the monthly/annual costs. All applicable forms and applications will be filed accordingly for the 2023-2024 and 2024-2025 years.
