E-Rate Program. From 2006 until the present, XXXX has participated in the federal Schools and Libraries Universal Service Fund Program (the “E-Rate Program”), which is run by the Federal Communications Commission. The E-Rate Program permits eligible schools and libraries to obtain and install telecommunications and internet-related infrastructure equipment at heavily discounted prices subsidized by the government. From 2007 to 2015, XXXX sought $13,859,648.52 in E-Rate funding. Of these requests, CUTA obtained $4,103,826.84 in disbursements. During this time period, CUTA obtained its E-Rate-eligible goods and services from several vendors that defrauded the E-Rate Program. For example, during this time period, CUTA’s most commonly-used E-Rate Program vendor was Hashomer Alarm, owned by Xxxxxx Xxxxx. Xxxxx and several others were convicted in 2020 for conspiracy to defraud the E-Rate Program through Xxxxxxxx Xxxxx, among other entities. CUTA acknowledges that, during the 2007 to 2015 time period, CUTA used the E-Rate Program funds to install technology-related infrastructure or to purchase equipment that was not necessary to serve an educational purpose at the time it was purchased. From 2016 to the present, under the supervision of a new Executive Director, CUTA sought additional funding from the E-Rate Program. The company represents that all funds requested since 2016 have been bonafide requests for qualifying educational purposes.
