Additionally, 40 of the 81 circuits District-wide, will be re-terminated at Yonkers Montessori Academy, which is the site of the District’s secondary Data center. Each site will have one circuit terminated at the District’s Data Center and one terminated at YMA.

The District is entitled to a 90% discount on this service, leaving the District’s share at 10%.
