I anticipate this Picuris Project will compliment the technology needs Penasco Schools presented in their technology plan to the Schools and Libraries Commission. Arnold Lopez, Technology Director for Penasco, requested a T-1 line for Internet connection between La Plaza and the Penasco High School USWest does not have the infrastructure to install that line, leaving the school district with the existing La Plaza 56Kbps line. As you know, that line provides service not only to the schools but also to the 80+ dial in users in the Penasco area.
A meeting is scheduled for Friday, May 21, 1999 with Picuris Pueblo, Penasco Schools, La Jicarita Enterprises, LANL, State R&C, and La Plaza to proceed with the plans of collaboration and cooperation to install wireless service through the Pueblo.

The implementation of a $25 reactivation fee has proven to be a factor in the payment of these past due accounts.
