Committe Passes Stopgap Funding for School Broadband
Published at
Boise, Idaho — Idaho budget writers have approved a nearly $3.6 million stopgap measure to maintain broadband access in public high schools for at least another four months.
The Joint Finance Appropriations Committee voted Tuesday to provide funding to reimburse schools for procuring their own broadband service throughout fiscal year 2015.
Earlier this month, a district judge voided Idaho’s $60 million broadband contract.
