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 data plan service on an as-needed basis for LTE enabled chromebooks 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. This service will include online content filtering through the districts network to ensure our students are browsing safely at no additional cost to the District.
This plan is being offered through the duration of the Coronavirus (COVID-19) Declaration of Emergency, or June 30, 2021 whichever occurs last. However, the minimum term of the Agreement is three (3) months, thereafter services will be on a month-to-month basis. Each line requested by the District will require a $10 per month subscription for service at a total cost not to exceed $30,000.
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.
