Summary:
|
The Perris Union High School District (PUHSD) Board of Trustees authorized the 2020-21 school year to begin in a distance learning model. In order to support this effort, the District is requesting the purchase of 2,000 LTE Hotspots to provide internet access to students that do not have access at home. During this time, providing home access is critical to the success of the distance learning model.
Using T-Mobile’s EmpowerED program, PUHSD will be provided the hardware at no cost. Each line will require a $20 per month subscription for service costing the District $480,000. This service will include online content filtering to ensure our students are browsing safely at no additional cost to the District.
The devices would be checked out to students to provide high speed, secure, and filtered internet at home in support of the distance learning education model. Devices checked out to students at the California Military Institute (CMI) will be billed as a direct cost to CMI per the Memorandum of Understanding between the District and CMI.
