Entity Validation Letter

March 9, 2024

State E-rate Coordinator
California Department of Education
1430 N Street, Suite 6308
Sacramento CA. 95814

To Whom It May Concern:

I certify that: (1) each of the school site(s) listed in the letter has been established, organized, maintained, and operated as an independent “school,” rather than a secondary site, by official action of the governing board (or the authorizing board of a Charter School) and such action is reflected in the governing board’s minutes; (2) each of such schools meets the statutory definition of an elementary school or secondary school found at 20 U.S.C. section 7801 (19) and (45), and/or the Eligibility for non-traditional K-12 students and facilities as found on the Schools and Libraries Division (SLD), Universal Service Administrative Company (USAC) website.

I certify that all information contained in this certification letter and its attachments are true and accurate and supported by written documentation maintained in the entity’s official records of which will be made available promptly upon request. I acknowledge, on behalf of the governing board, that USAC distinguishes between an “annex” and a “school” and that, if USAC determines during an audit or otherwise that a school site is not a separate “school” but rather an “annex,” the local educational agency (LEA) could incur a significant liability or disallowance.

Thank you for your assistance in this matter.

Sincerely,

Doug Jones
Superintendent
