E-Rate Cuts on the Agenda: What School and Community Leaders Must Do to Keep Critical Internet Access

The FCC is reviewing E-Rate, and the public comment period closes October 13. The FCC needs to hear directly from superintendents about what E-Rate means for their schools, students and communities.

The E-Rate program is under review for potential cuts or elimination. For schools that rely on the program for discounted Internet access, losing E-Rate would disrupt instructional tools and assets, as well as critical administrative and special-needs support. The impact is compounded in rural and remote areas and could significantly affect educational equity and opportunity.

This episode features superintendents and education leaders and emphasizes the importance of advocacy and community action to protect these vital resources.
