    8.1 E-Rate Recommendation
    Mr. Greg Rollo, Director of Technology

    Our next ERate project for 2022 is the replacement of the Cisco network switches at Mt. Comfort Elementary school.  Most of these switches are over 13 years old and at the "end of life" for support.  In addition we are reducing the number of switches needed since we no longer have computer labs or student computers in classrooms. 

    Attached is the letter of recommendation to accept the bid from Logicalis, the ERate Matrix, and bid proposal from Logicalis.
