Hill Briefing:
The Threat to E-Rate: What the FCC's New Proposal Means for Schools and Libraries 

For nearly 30 years, E-Rate has helped schools and libraries afford the broadband their communities depend on. On June 25, the FCC adopted a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (WC Docket No. 26-133) asking, among many other questions, whether the program should be terminated.

Join the SHLB Coalition, the American Library Association (ALA), the Education and Libraries Networks Coalition (EdLiNC), and the Consortium for School Networking (CoSN) for a briefing on the proposal's contents, what's at stake for schools and libraries in your state or district, and the next steps in the comment process. Panelists will take questions from staff.

The briefing will include a discussion and Q&A with:

Joseph Wender, Executive Director 
Schools, Health & Libraries Broadband Coalition

Kristen Corra, Policy Counsel
Schools, Health & Libraries Broadband Coalition

Jon Bernstein, President, Bernstein Strategy Group
The Education and Libraries Networks Coalition (EdLiNC)
