FCC Solicits E-Rate Comment From Schools

It would be an understatement to call the last year for K12 schools in the United States and across the world challenging. From navigating social distancing, to feeding students and families, to procuring Chromebooks during a trade-war shortage, schools have had to show creativity and tenacity to support their students since last March.

It is unsurprising that these challenges have also had a significant impact on our school’s networks and already stretched IT budgets. With remote instruction and hybrid instruction eating up bandwidth and churning through computers and hotspots, schools have had to get creative to meet these needs.

The FCC is aware of this reality.

Currently, the FCC is closing out a round of comment on petitions to allow E-Rate funds to support remote learning during the COVID-19 Pandemic. You can read the full text and offer comment here:
