District's Free Knology Internet Accounts Under USAC Review
The Universal Service Administrative Company found the district may have violated E-rate rules by accepting 15 free residential internet accounts from Knology of Kansas as part of its 2011 contract. Valued at about 17 400 dollars, the gifts could force repayment of 500 000 dollars and jeopardize 340 000 more in federal funds. Both sides appeal, arguing the accounts were regular offerings and did not influence bidding. District officials say steps were taken to cancel unused accounts and modify the contract. Local board member Shannon Kimball recalls using the service in 2011 and emphasizes competitive bidding and rule compliance. WOW representative Kathryn Ford declines comment on appeals.
