SDE Seeking Broadband Coordinator!
I’m pleased to announce that the Idaho State Department of Education is seeking to hire a Broadband Coordinator to work alongside me! It has been my pleasure serving as both Broadband AND E-rate coordinator since 2021, but there is just so much to do that we are splitting the position as it was pre-pandemic!
If you or someone you know is interested in supporting districts and schools invest in fiber infrastructure, funding high-quality Internet connections for Idaho students, and working with other state agencies to coordinate state efforts to expand Internet availability, please send them my way!
The State Department of Education (SDE) is seeking highly qualified candidates to fill the following opening, see below.
Description: The Broadband Program Coordinator functions as a liaison to school districts regarding broadband reimbursement, support, and analysis of current broadband usage. This position reviews broadband invoices and contracts, makes recommendations related to broadband services, and processes reimbursements for these services. The Broadband Coordinator works in tandem with the E-Rate Coordinator, and collaborates with the technology department, Idaho Commission for Libraries, and the Education Opportunity Resource Committee.
