as Director of Operational Technology of the
Atlanta Public Schools (‘‘APS’’), you
conspired with others, including your wife
Evelyn Myers Scott (‘‘Myers Scott’’), to enter
into an E-Rate contract on behalf of APS in
return for payments to the consulting firm
owned by you and Myers Scott from the
vendor.5 In addition, you admitted that you,
as agent of APS, corruptly solicited,
demanded, accepted and agreed to accept
$37,917 in order to be influenced and
rewarded in connection with APS’s
participation in the E-Rate program. The loss
and the restitution that you owed to the ERate program resulting from the criminal
offenses was $300,176.10.6
Pursuant to section 54.521(a)(4) of the
Commission’s rules,7 your conviction
requires the Bureau to suspend you from
participating in any activities associated with
or related to the schools and libraries fund
mechanism, including the receipt of funds or
discounted services through the schools and
libraries fund mechanism, or consulting
with, assisting, or advising applicants or
service providers regarding the schools and
libraries support mechanism.8 Your
suspension becomes effective upon the
earlier of your receipt of this letter or
publication of notice in the Federal
Register.9
Suspension is immediate pending the
Bureau’s final debarment determination. In
accordance with the Commission’s
debarment rules, you may contest this
suspension or the scope of this suspension by
filing arguments in opposition to the
suspension, with any relevant
documentation. Your request must be
received within 30 days after you receive this
letter or after notice is published in the
Federal Register, whichever comes first.10
Such requests, however, will not ordinarily
be granted.11 The Bureau may reverse or
limit the scope of suspension only upon a
finding of extraordinary circumstances.12
Absent extraordinary circumstances, the
Bureau will decide any request for reversal
or modification of suspension within 90 days
of its receipt of such request.13

II. Initiation of Debarment Proceedings
Your guilty plea to criminal conduct in
connection with the E-Rate program, in
addition to serving as a basis for immediate
suspension from the program, also serves as
a basis for the initiation of debarment
proceedings against you. Your conviction
falls within the categories of causes for
debarment defined in section 54.521(c) of the
Commission’s rules.14 Therefore, pursuant to
section 54.521(a)(4) of the Commission’s
rules, your conviction requires the Bureau to
commence debarment proceedings against
you.
As with your suspension, you may contest
debarment or the scope of the proposed
debarment by filing arguments and any
relevant documentation within 30 calendar
days of the earlier of the receipt of this letter
or of publication in the Federal Register.15
Absent extraordinary circumstances, the
Bureau will debar you.16 Within 90 days of
receipt of any opposition to your suspension
and proposed debarment, the Bureau, in the
absence of extraordinary circumstances, will
provide you with notice of its decision to
debar.17 If the Bureau decides to debar you,
its decision will become effective upon the
earlier of your receipt of a debarment notice
or publication of the decision in the Federal
Register.18
If and when your debarment becomes
effective, you will be prohibited from
participating in activities associated with or
related to the schools and libraries support
mechanism for three years from the date of
debarment.19 The Bureau may, if necessary to
protect the public interest, extend the
debarment period.20

or hand delivery, to Marlene H. Dortch,

commission of criminal fraud, theft, embezzlement,
forgery, bribery, falsification or destruction of
records, making false statements, receiving stolen
property, making false claims, obstruction of justice
and other fraud or criminal offense arising out of
