FCDL Comment:
MR1: We have completed our review of your Funding Year 2013 FCC Form 471 application 919209 and have determined that FRN 2508374 includes services that are not consistent with program rules and therefore will be removed from the FRN. Only certain products and services, used in certain ways, are eligible for Schools and Libraries Program support. When asked to explain the educational purpose of 3,000 minutes for international calling to Russia and Israel, you indicated "In order to assure we pursue a proper educational approach for these students we need to be able to reach their parents, guardians, previous teachers or persons involved in their education overseas." Based on this information, it was determined that services are for an ineligible purpose. FCC rules require that the services the applicant purchases at discounts be used solely for educational purposes. As a result, the amount of the funding request was reduced from $408.67 monthly to $209.97 monthly to remove charges associated with the ineligible service. <><><><><> MR2: The Service Start Date was changed from 7/1/2013 to 9/1/2013 to agree with the documentation provided during the review of the FCC Form 471.
