Keep Schools Connected: Protect E-Rate Town Hall
September 09, 2026
A national virtual town hall on why E-Rate matters and what's at stake if we lose it.
100,000+ schools and libraries rely on E-Rate to stay connected.
The FCC just opened the door to consider ending it — a program that powers everything from monitoring transportation fleets and building security to internal connections and classroom access.
The critical connectivity supporting your district should not be up for debate.
View this live virtual town hall with superintendents, library leaders, and policy experts who are already in the fight. We break down what’s actually happening, what it means for your students and your budget, and what you can do to protect it.
