Category One (telecommunications and internet access) has higher discount rates and is essentially uncapped; Category Two (internal connections, managed services) has a five-year per-student budget cap. Mixing the categories on a single application typically delays funding by a full cycle.
Schools that misclassify equipment requests get bumped to the wrong queue and miss the funding-year window. The discount can be 20-90% depending on poverty rate, so the stakes are substantial.
Federal IDEA gives parents specific rights — to consent or refuse evaluations, to participate in placement decisions, to request independent educational evaluations at district expense — that are routinely waived by signing a standard IEP without raising objections.
