Not really given size. We're a tiny district < 1K student body, and we've spent perhaps 1/4m on a infrastructure refresh; we deployed a new wireless network, replaced edge and core l2 and l3 switches, etc.

Consider LA has 600K+ students across the district, multiple facilities, and tens of thousands of staff I would say that is on the low end of infrastructure costs.

Our four site WAN runs > 30K/year, 100Mbps circuit is 24K, we're already at ~60K/y in operating costs.

It is easy to see how 800mil on infrastructure is probably not enough.
