E-Rate Web Sites

There are a nuymber of web sites that do an excellent job of summarizing the E-Rate, reporting on changes to the program, and providing links to relevant Internet resources. The most authoritative site will always be: the Schools and Libraries Division. Be very careful to download official documents only from the SLD Web site or sites to which they refer directly.
