FY 2012 E-rate Window Dates Announced
November 22, 2011
Form 471 Window Dates Set for FY 2012
~ Helpful timeline attached ~
The SLD has announced that the Funding Year 2012 E-rate Form 471 filing window will open at noon on Monday, January 9 and will close at 11:59 p.m. on Tuesday, March 20, 2012.
The absolute final day to post a Form 470 is February 21, which will give you exactly 24 hours to open bids, sign contracts, and file the 471 and Item 21 attachments. My advice continues to be to have your Form 470 posted by mid-December to get your 28-day clock ticking, then evaluate your proposals, select a vendor, obtain board approval (if needed) and submit your Form 471 in February. Please, please don't wait until February to file your 470. On December 9 I will send a list to the listserve showing all of the PA applicants that have filed 470's so far for FY 2012.
Having trouble keeping track of the different filing dates? Attached is an updated E-rate timeline that shows each step of the E-rate program and the associated filing deadlines for FY 2010, 2011, and 2012.
And finally, I want to take this opportunity to wish you and your family a warm, wonderful Thanksgiving. This year as I communicated with so many of you during the fall E-rate trainings I was reminded what committed school and library leaders we have in Pennsylvania and I am thankful to count so many of you as my friends and colleagues. Have a great holiday!
