[Erate] E-Rate Central News of the Week for December 22, 2008

[Carson, Sabrina]

WESD has been closed due to weather. I am trying to keep track of emails so please use that method to contact me if you need any assistance. I would very much like to be notified if any of you are contacted regarding and audit. Even if you do not require assistance, I would just like to know how many districts in the state are being audited. Thanks.

See the attached newsletter for articles on:


 *   FY 1999 – FY 2009 Funding Status.  Wave 32 for FY 2008 was issued December 18th and included Priority 2 funding down to 88%.  The only funding announced this week was for appeal and delayed regular waves from FY 1999 – FY 2006.
 *   Accounting for BEAR Reimbursement Checks.  In response to a common question — are there any restrictions on the use of reimbursed BEAR funds? — the simple answer is “no.”  But there are other factors to consider.


 *   Update on Round 3 E-Rate Audits.   Many applicants are now getting audit notifications requesting initial information and scheduling on-site visits which will conflict with holiday school closings and the FY 2009 application window.  Document requests provide a useful checklist for E-rate compliance purposes.
 *   Schools and Libraries News Brief dated December 19th.  This News includes a number of reminders and tips on the Form 470 process.
