E-Rate survey
by Norris, Sonya (MDE) 22 May '17

22 May '17

A nationwide E-rate survey is being conducted by Funds for Learning, asking schools and libraries to contribute their opinions and experiences with the E-rate application process and I'm asking you to take a few minutes and complete the survey. You can do it anonymously, if you choose. At the close of the survey, the results will be tabulated into a comprehensive report which is then shared with the FCC, USAC and the public. The survey is available at: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/e-rate2017. I hope you will take a few minutes and complete it in the next few days. Your feedback is very important. Thank you!
