E-Rate in the Era of COVID

On the heels of the most significant regulatory changes to the E-rate program since its inception, schools and libraries have one of the greatest opportunities in history to leverage E- rate funds, and possibly additional CARES monies, to implement high-speed broadband and data networks.

Join our E-rate and networking specialists for an interactive webinar on Wednesday, September 30 at 11:00 am

Bring your questions to this 45-minute interactive webinar

and we’ll discuss:

• E-Rate program update and 2021 filing best practices
• Eligible Cat 1 & 2 expenditures
• Using additional COVID grants and monies to fund your portion of E-Rate
• Leverage your network to provide appropriate reporting and alerts to keep students safe in a COVID world
• Remote learning and CIPA compliance
• Effectively and securely increase webinar (Zoom, WebEx) traffic across your network
• Maintaining network policy and security for staff working remotely with personal or the school’s devices
• Creative ways to provide Wi-Fi to your students, staff and community
• Improving user experience and securing access without disrupting your IT budget
