E-Rate Web Sites
There are many Web sites that are doing an excellent job of summarizing progress on the E-Rate and providing links to relevant Internet Resources. The most authoritative site will always be: the Schools and Libraries Division Web site. Be very careful to download official documents only from the SLD Web site or sites to which they refer directly.
