[OPLINLIST] eRate workshop--Nov 15

Fri Oct 5 12:11:27 EDT 2012

Please excuse cross-postings

As you may know, eRate is the discount or rebate that libraries and
schools can receive on telecommunication and internet services based on
poverty in their area as indicated by the free and reduced school lunch
program. This workshop is the first of two on how to fill out the
necessary forms for this discount/rebate. If you're on the fence as to
whether to attend this year, be aware that Ohio is changing how the free
and reduced lunch program is calculated. If you have questions about
what qualifies for eRate, please see this list of Eligible Services for
FY 2013

Additionally, any eRate request that includes Priority 2 services must
include a certified technology plan. Even if your eRate request doesn't
include a Priority 2 request, it's helpful to have a plan in place to
support future growth. To help support you in these efforts, I'm having
two webinars on technology planning:
