Nineteen national education associations--representing state and local associations, educators, districts, rural communities and more--submitted letters in support of AASA Executive Director Dan Domenech's nomination to the USAC Board.
You'll recall that Dan has served on the USAC Board--the entity that oversees the E-Rate program--since 2012. As the voice of schools and libraries on the USAC board, he is the conduit to ensure that the program has a direct infusion of practitioner-based feedback and input.
You can file a letter of support from your association or independent school district until August 17. Details here.
In addition to AASA, the endorsing organizations include: (The groups were on two letters, one representing broader school/libraries groups and one representing rural communities.)
