Title: Approval of Cornerstone Agreement

Recommendation:
I recommend that the School Board approve the Cornerstone Agreement.

Description:

The Broward County School Board recently entered into an engineering consulting agreement with Cornerstone Consulting to develop a wireless spectrum use plan for Miami-Dade County School Board, Florida Atlantic University, and Palm Beach County School Board.  The Interlocal Agreement provides that the School Board will pay Broward County School Board a pro-rata share of the cost of the Cornerstone Consulting development plan up to $16,000.

The three School Boards and FAU intend to use the plan in their decision-making process on how to best utilize the existing wireless spectrum that is currently under license to each of the parties. They also intend to use the plan to eliminate interference and to facilitate collaboration in the development and sharing of programming, such as distance learning, staff development, and training.  The plan will then be submitted to the FCC for approval.

Financial Impact:
The financial impact is approximately $16,000 to the Capital Budget.
