Telephones
In addition to the regular telephone lines, cellular phones are assigned to each campus for use in case of an emergency or if a regular phone is unavailable. The district receives approximately a 63% discount on eligible telecommunications services through E-Rate which is funded through revenues collected by telecommunications providers as the Universal Service Fee.
