Important Information for Recipients of Pink Postcards for Year 4
Message Posted September 4, 2001
Pink Postcard Recipients Should Appeal ASAP
As you know, in early August I mentioned that we were seeing an
extremely high number of applicants receiving notifications that their
certifications and Item 21 attachments were postmarked after the Year 4
window (January 18, 2001). As it turns out, there may be a very good reason
for this high incident rate -- SLD error. I know this may come as a shock
to some of you, but after considerable pressure for further investigation by
several state E-rate coordinators, the SLD has admitted that in some cases,
paperwork was scanned in but attached to another entity's application.
There appears to be a particularly high incident rate among
applicants that put several certifications/attachments in a single envelope.
The SLD is researching the actual scope of the problem and promises
to conduct a thorough investigation of all applicants that received pink
postcards. Applicants that received pink postcards should appeal
immediately rather than wait for the SLD to conduct their review. In some
cases, pink postcards were mailed more than 30 days ago, and in other cases,
they were mailed on Aug 6. In either case, please file the sample appeal
letter below immediately. I have filed a blanket appeal, but have been told
that I don't have standing and cannot
Please note: A list of all Pennsylvania applicants receiving pink
postcards for Year 4 is below.
Simply because your name is on the list does NOT mean that the SLD
has lost your attachments/certifications. In many cases, entities are on
this list because they deserve to be -- they simply forgot to have their
application/certification/and or Item 21 attachments postmarked before
January 18, 2001. If this is the case, you can appeal, but without proof
that at least an original envelope was postmarked by January 18, you have
little chance of success.
If you are on this list and have proof that you had your mailing
postmarked by January 18, 2001, you should submit the following appeal
letter TODAY, via overnight courier if possible. Please e-mail me if you
have any questions. I'll keep you informed as information becomes
available.
