E. Administrative Costs Added by a School System

Q1. Assume that a school district obtains telecommunications services from a service provider, and the school district then bills individual schools for the service and adds an administrative cost to these bills to cover their overhead expense. Is the administrative cost eligible for discount?

No. Applicants obtain discounts for telecommunications services charges from eligible telecommunications services providers. Administrative fees imposed on schools or libraries by other government agencies do not fall within this definition.
