E-Rate Training and Updates

Pam Jacobs, Iowa E-rate Coordinator, will hold a virtual E-rate training for completion of Form 470 for the 2014-15 school/funding year on Tuesday, November 19 at 2:00-3:30 p.m. To participate, go to http://iowa.adobeconnect.com/e-rate/ and select “enter as a guest.”

The USAC Board has determined that the Form 471 "window" for 2014-15 school/funding year will open no sooner than January 8, 2014. The window closing/deadline has not yet been established but will likely be sometime in mid to late March. One reason for the uncertainty of dates is that there will be a new version of Form 471 and that form must be tested in the online system before the window opens.

Dates for the Form 471 training will be posted in December (first Form 471 training session likely to take place the week of January 13). Because of the new Form 471, it is recommended that newcomers and seasoned veterans participate in one of the trainings.
