Summary:
|
On January 29, 2014, the contract with CALNET II expired. CALNET II was a contract awarded to multiple vendors for telecommunications services in 2008 through a State request for proposals. Since 2008, MDUSD has utilized the voice and Data provisions of the contract which was awarded to ATT. This contract allows the school district to enjoy reduced pricing, and it is recognized by the Schools and Libraries Program for additional E-rate discounts. The State has finalized and awarded contracts for CALNET III, but now the FCC unveiled E-rate II and with it a new funding model for eligible services. Under E-rate II telephone discounts will be phased out over the next three years. For this contract year we will receive 1/3 the discount we enjoyed last year. We are requesting an extension of current pricing until June 30, 2017, with an option to extend until June 30, 2018. This will allow us the time to convert our data and telephone services no longer covered in E-rate II to services that are eligible for E-rate discounts. Since it may take some time to convert to the new services, we are asking for a contract extension until next year's E-rate funding window.
