Schools are faced with the daunting challenge of advancing to 21st century learning with 1:1 or BYOD initiatives—while dealing with limited IT budgets and support. The newly updated E-Rate program can bridge this gap by paying for some or most of a district’s Wi-Fi expenses, but IT managers should be wary of focusing too much on the initial price, rather than choosing the right vendor and the total cost of ownership.
In this webinar, you will learn from Jim Kerr, an E-Rate expert, about the latest E-Rate changes that can help you expand Wi-Fi at your schools. Ashley Cooper of Person County Schools will share lessons learned from their district’s Wi-Fi selection process.

Join us to learn about:

• New E-Rate discounts, product eligibility and program changes
• Best practices for vendor selection
• Lessons learned and the true cost of Wi-Fi ownership
