Background
State and federal statutes require that appropriate educational programs, as well as support services (Designated Instructional Services [DIS]), be provided for all students identified as requiring special education. Under existing law, the need and eligibility for these programs and services is based upon specific assessment and is established by the Individual Education Plan (IEP) team. In a small number of cases when the needs of a student are so unique that they cannot be met in the public school setting or by public school providers, it is necessary to establish an individual services contract with a nonpublic school or agency in order to provide the program established by the IEP team.
Current Considerations

As such, it is important for the groups to get rest and nutrition in between their choreographed routines while staying together to support and lift their teammates’ morale. The groups are scheduled to depart via bus on Friday, March 20, 2020, and return via bus on Sunday, March 22, 2020.

Background Information
E-Rate is the commonly used name for the Schools and Libraries Program of the Universal Service Fund, which is administered by the Universal Service Administration Company (USAC) under the direction of the Federal Communications Commission. The program provides discounts to assist schools and libraries in the United States to obtain affordable telecommunications services and Internet access. Funding levels are based on the number of students that participate in the National School Lunch Program. Part of the process for applying for discounts is to allow vendors to submit bids for requested services. The PVPUSD will be seeking bids for various telecommunications equipment, software, and other related electronic equipment and apparatus and services throughout the District. The E-Rate program requires the use of weighted evaluation criteria that demonstrates how the most "cost-effective" bid is selected while complying with state and local procurement laws. Price must be a primary factor, but need not be the only factor. Current Considerations In last year's 2019-20 application, the District bid multi-year services for discounts on telecommunications services and Internet access. COX Communications was selected for telecommunications services and Frontier Communications for Internet access. For 2020-21, the District will be applying to receive discounts on these same services utilizing the multi-year pricing approved last year.
