AASA Executive Director David Schuler Named to USAC Board

Today, FCC Chairwoman Jessica Rosenworcel named 8 members to the Universal Service Administrative Company (USAC) board of directors, including AASA Executive Director David R. Schuler. 

David will serve a three-year term through December 2027, and continue AASA service on the USAC board that dates back to 2021. AASA has supported and championed the Universal Service Program—including E-Rate—since its creation in the late 1990s. E-Rate is the only federal program supporting technology and connectivity in the nation’s schools, and is almost singularly responsible for the nearly universal presence of internet in our nation’s classrooms and schools.

It is important to note that USAC is an administrative body and David’s role on USAC is outside of and completely distinct from the explicit advocacy efforts of AASA as it relates to working with the hill and the FCC to support and strengthen the E-Rate and its sister USF programs.
