Guide: How to Maximize Your Year-5 E-Rate Dollars

Chaz Hager October 09 2024

Ready to enable your district with seamless, high-speed connectivity?

Solve for this year while planning your network infrastructure's long-term strategy and stability. 

Raise your hand if you hear frequent complaints about the slow and unreliable Wi-Fi in the schools you manage.  

Technology in schools has been completely transformed in the past few years. While it has the power to enable new levels of freedom in learning, it also takes a lot more support from districts’ network infrastructure.  

Of course, this is a challenge. Resources and budgets are stretched thin, and school environments are some of the most complex. Your district needs seamless connectivity that can accommodate a high volume of devices, enable students to move frequently throughout their days without losing connection, and allow teachers to trust its reliability for better lesson planning.    

Programs like E-Rate are designed to help your district get there—and this year, with the COVID relief funding sunsetting, maximizing your E-Rate funding is more important than ever—especially for small and rural districts. 

In this guide, you’ll learn: 

  • The full scope of services eligible for E-Rate funding

  • How a Co-Managed MIBS partner qualifies for E-Rate funding and, more importantly, benefits schools

  • The critical differences between BMIC and MIBS—and which service gives your district more strategic impact. 

  • Clear steps you should take this year to maximize your Year-5 E-Rate dollars
