There have been a number of reviews of Michigan schools by the Universal Services Administrative Company, the FCC, and the FBI. There are potentially significant ramifications for the improper use of funds - even when a district is following the advice of an E-rate consultant or is unaware of the problem.
A document
from Thrun Law Firm, P.C. about important challenges Michigan schools
are facing with administration/use of Universal Services Fund (E-rate)
dollars has recently been posted on the MSBO web site.
We wish to say thanks to Eric Delaporte from Thrun Law Firm, P.C. for
drafting the detailed alert posted. If your district is
receiving USF dollars, it is definitely worth your review.
