General Questions Received by E-mail
1. Please clarify some confusion surrounding contracts and tariffed items....We have received conflicting info between site, SP training and other inquiries...
For tariffed items, if the service is a multiple year order (ie. - 3 year PRI which for time committment usually receives a reduced monthly rate), - is a contract required?  The general understanding that was for anything other than month to month a contract (per SLD guidelines) IS REQUIRED.  Could you please clarify?
2.   We have two 2006 schools that were recently put in the category “Held for Policy Guidance”. We can’t offer any optimism about this situation as we have a 2004 applicant that has been sitting in that pile for over two years. Whenever this latter school has asked what the problem is it’s basically been told that no information is available – or it’s none of its business.  Two questions:
            2.1. Shouldn’t there be some statute of limitations on remaining in limbo forever? Some schools have applications that fall into black holes and no information is ever forthcoming.
           2.2. If a school is reapplying, wouldn’t it be helpful for them to know where they’re making an error, in advance of a new application? 
3.   A school is approved for Dell (Windows) equipment. It puts in a request to change to the equivalent Apple equipment and is approved. Then they realize they should go with Dell. Do they have to apply for another change or will the first approval stand?
