An annual E-rate survey is being conducted by E-rate consulting firm Funds for Learning, asking schools and libraries to contribute their opinions and experiences with the E-rate application process. The survey results will be tabulated and shared with Congress, the FCC and the public this summer.
Last year, a total of 2,138 applicants participated in the survey and the results of the 2020 survey were presented to the FCC. See ex parte presentation.
SURVEY SPECIFICS
This year it is even more important that applicants have a venue to share their feedback. A higher number of responses increases the statistical significance of the data.
There are 32 questions plus 6 more optional demographic items.
It takes about 8 minutes to complete.
Individual results are confidential. Only aggregate data is reported.
Many questions have been repeated for several years in order to watch for trends.
Funds For Learning does not market our services to respondents.
I hope you will take a few minutes and complete it today. Your feedback is very important. You can complete it anonymously, if you choose, or forward it to your colleagues that may work more closely with E-rate and its impacts. The survey is available at this link:

NOTE: Even though the survey results are being gathered by a consulting firm, we do not endorse any specific E-rate consulting firm. The survey link is being shared because it is a convenient means for you to offer your opinion, along with other applicants, in a format with which the FCC is familiar. This email is not a statement for or against any E-rate consulting firm.
