Petition For Review by Birdville Independent School District in 02-6
Birdville Independent School District requested review of the Universal Service Administrative Company's denial of over $218,000 in E-Rate funding for FY 2025. The denial was based on the assertion that adding the Richland Hills Annex required a new competitive bidding process and that special construction must have been completed by the FY 2019 deadline. The school district argues that FCC rules permit adding new locations to an existing multi-year contract without rebidding and that the special construction deadline applies to the funding year in which the service is requested, not the original contract year.
