From Sabrina.Carson at wesd.org Mon Feb 7 13:55:16 2011 From: Sabrina.Carson at wesd.org (Carson, Sabrina) Date: Mon, 7 Feb 2011 13:55:16 -0800 Subject: [Erate] E-Rate Central News of the Week for February 7, 2011 Message-ID: <06D9FD985A42704BB0E8F483ACA3FE2E3F7B6EF44D@miranda.wesd.org> See the attached newsletter for articles on: * Funding Status. The application window for FY 2011 will open January 11th and close March 24th. Prospects for Priority 2 funding down to 80% are bleak. Wave 37 for FY 2010 and Wave 80 for FY 2009 will be released this week. * Basic Maintenance: Beyond SMARTnet. The basic maintenance clarification on SMARTnet, discussed last week, provides a model for handling other maintenance contracts, but one critical issue remains to be resolved. * Schools and Libraries News Brief dated February 4. Last week's News discusses a number of aspects of the Form 470 procurement process.

The application window for FY 2011 will open January 11th and close March 24th. Wave 38 for FY 2010 will be released this week. * Connect America Fund NPRM. The FCC issued an extensive NPRM designed to modernize the Universal Service Fund which would include transitioning support for telephone service to broadband service. The impact on E-rate is expected to be minor, but could lead to the elimination of discounts for basic telephone service. * E-Rate Updates and Reminders. Applicants planning to use paper versions of Forms 470/471 may be interested in type-in PDF versions available on the E-rate Central Web site. Paper Form 470s should be mailed to the SLD no later than this week. February 14th is the final deadline for applicants who received Form 486 Urgent Reminder Letters last month. * Schools and Libraries News Brief dated February 11. The most recent News Brief provides a number of reminders regarding Form 470 procurement and documentation procedures.

The FCC provided additional guidance to USAC permitting the use of cost allocations on existing maintenance contracts to deal with the new rules on the ineligibility of unbundled warranties and other fixed-price maintenance contracts. Further information is available in the SLDF?s News Brief of February 18. * E-Rate Updates and Reminders. Last week?s problem that prevented the filing of Form 470s by new entities is partially resolved. FCC proposals to modernize the CORES system have E-rate implications for some large organizations sharing the same TIN.

Please feel free to respond to the listserv or to her directly, whichever you feel more comfortable with. Keep in mind that your responses may help others who haven't thought to ask us! Here is Wendy's question: "We are primarily looking for direction on the best way to go with a new VOIP system and would like to hear from other districts in the state who have chosen to go that route in the last few years. We would like to hear about their experiences in installing a VOIP system - what worked, what didn't work, what to look out for. We would love to get enough information to do a good comparison between a hosted and/or leased solution and a purchased solution, while keeping in mind the best opportunities for taking advantage of E-Rate discounts and/or reimbursements. (It looks like our reimbursement rate will be between 55-60%, so I don't know how much reimbursement we would qualify for.) We would also appreciate sample RFP's for VOIP systems so we can get a clearer idea of what might be involved."

There's no shortage of support around using FB for instruction, yet most Oregon K12 blocks it. Is it possible/probable that most common reason to utilize a filtering system on FB is to mitigate student supervision?
