-----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Marilyn Johnson Sent: Wednesday, March 01, 2006 12:00 PM To: 'Syscon-Tx (E-mail) Subject: [syscon-tx] E-Rate Videoconference Please forward the following email announcement to reach Texas public libraries. Please forgive any cross postings. Come to the April 11, 2006 workshop -- E-Rate: The Basics, Pt. II -- and see just how SIMPLE the filing process for E-Rate can be! When you attend this workshop, you will receive a workshop packet chock full of information that will guide you through the filing process in laymen's terms .. and as simply as possible. Pre-registration is recommended. Go to http://www.tsl.state.tx.us/ld/workshops/er82/ to choose your location and register. Below you will find out where to get more details, but with budgets get tighter and tighter, E-Rate is a pretty good way to save some funds -- for more books and enhanced services! The average discount in Texas is 70% or higher. (I haven't actually calculated it this year!) Even if your phone bill was only $50 per month, a 70% discount would mean a savings of $420 over the course of the year. That's just your phone bill .. and that's if it's only $50 per month! Just imagine the possibilities when you consider cell phones, ISDN, T-1, DSL .. and more! Everything I listed above is a Telecommunications Services and therefore, NO CIPA compliance is necessary! What is CIPA compliance? Come to the workshop and find out! This particular workshop will focus on the last two forms -- the 486 and the BEAR (Form 472). The workshop I did in the Fall focused on the first half of the E-Rate filing process (Forms 470 and 471). If you want to view that first workshop, you can request the DVD from Anne Ramos at [EMAIL PROTECTED] Go to http://www.tsl.state.tx.us/ld/workshops/er82/ to see more information.
