⚠️ E-Rate connects 100,000+ schools & 11,000+ libraries every year, keeping daily school operations running. That program is now under FCC review. File your comment by Oct 13: erate.aasa.org/ #SaveOurERate #KeepSchoolsConnected

“[The E-Rate program] is for everybody,” said Jamar Rahming, CEO of @CuyahogaLib. “This is not just for rural people. It’s not just for urban people. It’s not just for children. It’s a lifeline for every community." Learn more: buff.ly/uOP5trw

FCC looks to shield schools & libraries from cyber threats w/opening of $200M pilot program & a 45-day application window. Elected participants get support for cybersecurity costs. Data will inform future E-Rate & universal service fund use - bit.ly/3Tx3jQJ @keithkrueger

The Universal Service Fund WAS a bipartisan program – and it’s been going strong for decades. Now extreme right-wing judges are pulling the plug on the MILLIONS of families who rely on it for phone & internet service. This is today’s GOP: fighting for higher bills and chaos.

What a downright dumb and misinformed decision by the Fifth Circuit under-cutting the Universal Service Fund which has done so much to connect Americans to the telecommunications they must have to be functioning citizens.

The Fifth Circuit’s ruling against the Universal Service Fund is wrong. It undermines FCC programs connecting our most rural households, hospitals, schools, and libraries. It shows a lack of understanding of the law and hurts our most vulnerable students and communities.

Allowing school buses to be outfitted with WiFi will give students more opportunities to succeed because it gives those without internet access at home more time to do their homework. @NEAToday fully supports the @FCC proposal to make school buses eligible for the E-Rate program.
