Decision on WiFi contract, Schoolnet postponed for three days

A decision on how to handle the future of a high school WiFi contract and the Schoolnet program has been postponed for three days, by unanimous consent of the Joint Finance-Appropriations Committee. “I feel like we’re making a decision here without full information,” said Sen. Dan Schmidt, D-Moscow.

Rep. Jeff Thompson, R-Idaho Falls, asked that all other sections of intent language relating to the new Division of Central Services in the public school budget be approved, but those two be held open for three days. The joint committee agreed unanimously to the delay.
