Description
We will be joined by outspoken experts to discuss how E-rate funding relates to student connectivity at home. Currently, E-rate funding can only be utilized for connections to school campuses, preventing schools from offering connectivity solutions to students while they are engaged in remote learning. In this session our panelist will explore concepts to modernize the E-Rate program to accommodate student connectivity to the home through school provided connections or bulk purchasing agreements from existing ISPs.
