SPECIAL ISSUE: E-RATE in NEW HAMPSHIRE

======================================

http://www.nheon.com/oet/erate

There’s a new Web Resource for E-Rate in New Hampshire!

Please visit the updated e-rate web page on NHEON for links to step-by-step instructions on completing applications, descriptions of services eligible for discounts, and more.

Do you feel like you need a “refresher course” in all the details of the e-rate program? Visit the Reference Area of the Schools and Libraries Division website where you’ll find much more information.

We’ll continue to post more links, tips, and other resources, so don’t hesitate to send us your suggestions!

Regards,

Cathy Higgins for the staff at the Office of Educational Technology
