Files 2020-21 E-Rate request for $1.65M+ in internet funding, with a district match

The Board authorizes the Superintendent to file the district's 2020-2021 E-Rate Category 1 application for data communication and internet access services, seeking $1,650,000.00 or more in federal funding, and to accept the award. The district will keep buying through its existing, previously approved contracts with Sonic, AT&T, Comcast and the Alameda County Office of Education (July 1, 2019 to April 1, 2025). It also sets aside a district match in the 2020-2021 budget, but the match amount is printed as "$413,00.00" in the official text.

Discrepancy from the official text. The District's match appropriation is printed as "$413,00.00", which is not a valid dollar figure, so the amount being appropriated is unclear. (Confirmed by a second, independent AI reading.)
