<p class=MsoNormal>I have attached some documents to this email. Here are brief
descriptions of what they are.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><b>e-Rate Budget Template.xls</b> – This is the form
that you can use to satisfy the budget reporting requirement in your plan. You
can make any changes to this form that you need to in order to make it relevant
to your needs. This is a tool for you to start with, and you can customize it
by changing the service descriptions or any other header that doesn’t fit
with your plan. The important thing is to ensure that you list the expenditures
AS WELL AS your revenue. If you fill out this form completely, you
shouldn’t have any problems with the budget portion of your plan.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><b>Newsletter Excerpts.doc</b> – This is a compilation
of a series of articles from e-Rate Central. The articles outlined several key
points of interest from the USAC training for Tech Plan approvers. The clarification
provided in this document is extremely useful to anyone involved in e-Rate tech
planning.<o:p></o:p></p>
