from the site I gave you SPIN # for you means a school can file e-rate to get money from the erate people (think is the state)
wasn't hard, just took a little time, file this form, wait a month, file that form, every year, file a form. etc. not hard. Forms are only 1 or 2 pages. not hard or time consuming, just something more to do. We don't file erate for the schools. There is definitely a market for that. If you come across a school/library in Illinois that isn't filing for erate, you can make some money off filing the paperwork for the school. That gets allot harder and time consuming. Many schools use someone just for their erate filing For schools and libraries. erate/SPIN is all I am aware of Getting clients. Hasn't been helpful in GETTING clients. required to keep current clients. We also don't heavily market, so proactive sales may have a different point of view. Savings depends on how poor the town is. School/Library reimbursement is based on school lunch program in the town reimbursement is based on how many kids in the school eat free/reduced lunch. around 50% of kids eat free/reduced = State pays 75% of communications bills. (or whatever else they get qualified for) Scott ----- Original Message ----- From: "Mike Hammett" <[email protected]> To: "WISPA General List" <[email protected]> Sent: Wednesday, March 11, 2009 12:56 PM Subject: Re: [WISPA] E-Rate Process > Indeed. > > I'm going through that stuff, but how everyone was making it sound before, > it was a big PITA to setup and use. > > Was it really that difficult? > > Does the state have something similar?
