From The Dallas Morning News: The Dallas school district must pay $750,000 and drop more than $150 million in requests for federal technology funds to settle claims that district officials abused a program aimed at providing technology for needy schools and libraries. The settlement is the final chapter of a scandal involving the district's former technology chief, Ruben Bohuchot, who was sentenced last year to 11 years in prison for a bribery and money-laundering scheme involving computer contracts paid for by the program. Because of the investigation, Dallas schools have been frozen out of participating in the Federal Communications Commission's E-Rate program since 2005.
