Reimbursement Plan for Internet Services
Reimbursement Plan for Internet Services
Approved by the Board on April 1st, 2020
This plan is to help out families in the district who either do not currently have internet at their home, will have upcharges due to the higher use of internet, or have to purchase a different internet plan due to the online learning plan of Ekalaka Public Schools. This includes any households where a student is currently residing, any board members who are affected, and other non-certified staff who are asked to perform duties online.
This plan would reimburse families who show the increase in costs of internet services due to the online learning plan. Those seeking reimbursement would have to provide a bill from their internet provider from a month previous to March, and then provide the bill following after the month of March (the time when distance learning was mandated by the state and district) to our business clerk. We would reimburse them for the increased cost that accrued above their normal monthly bill. If a family does not have internet, we would cover the costs to install, connect, and costs that accrued during the time of distance learning.
If you would like reimbursement for your increased internet charges please send a copy of your monthly bill prior to March 2020 and then a copy of your current bill with increased charges. The school will reimburse you for the difference.
*It is the households responsibility to call the internet provider to make changes to the current services, or set up appointments with the internet provider of choice.
*This is a reimbursement plan, we will not be paying upfront costs.
You can scan and email bills, or send via mail to the school:

Starting Smarter
You are the expert on your child. Over the course of a school year, you receive lots of information on how your child is performing in school that combine to give you a more complete picture of your child’s academic progress. In addition to report card grades and class tests, you can use test score reports to better understand your child’s strengths and areas in need of improvement to start a meaningful conversation with your child’s teacher about how to better support learning at home.
