As schools apply now for their share of billions of dollars in e-Rate funds for 2007, the group in charge of administering the federal program wants back $2.5 million in funding from the Baltimore city schools, because an audit of funds disbursed in 2002 could not prove that equipment funded by the program that year had been delivered or installed. The Baltimore city school system has contracted with an e-Rate consulting firm to help it sort out the problem.
