E-rate Workshops for Beginners and Veterans Scheduled -- Register Now
Message Posted September 22, 2004
Due to the high numbers of school and library personnel new to the E-rate
program, AND the changes that are coming for Year 8 -- including new Forms
470 and 471 -- several
workshops are being held this fall to assist new and veteran E-rate
applicants.
There will be a total of six workshops held -- two in each of three
locations. The beginners training will last the first 2/3 of the day and
the veterans training will last the last 1/3 of the day. Please only
register for one of the two -- not both. If you attend the beginners
workshops, the changes for Year 8 will be included in that training.
Likewise, if you are a veteran, please don't sign up for the beginners
training. Seating is very limited, so register early.
NOTE: All workshops will cover the changes to the technology planning
requirements from PDE for the upcoming year. So if your technology plan
expires on or before June 30, 2005, you should plan to attend one of the
trainings to learn the new requirements.
There is no fee to attend any workshops, but we do reserve the right to
charge you $35 if you do not show up in order to cover costs.
BEGINNERS TRAINING
If you are attending the beginners' session, you must commit to attending
the entire training. In exchange for this commitment, you will receive a
comprehensive 3-inch E-rate Binder that contains copies of the PowerPoint
presentation, fact sheets, forms, sample letters, new technology plan
template, etc.
Check-in will begin at 8:30 a.m., with the workshop running from 9 a.m. -
1:00 p.m., with one very short break.
VETERANS YR 8 TRAINING
Veterans will receive a series of handouts germane to the changes for
Year 8. Check-in will begin at 1:30, with the workshop running from 2:00 -
4:00.
