Summary:
|
K12 Funds, LLC is a company the Platte County R-3 School District has utilized for the past several years in providing E-Rate consulting services. In cooperation with K12 Funds, LLC, PCR-3 has funded various projects via E-Rate funding. The most beneficial to the District is the wide-area network (WAN), which connects all our school buildings and allows the District to operate as a single organizational unit from technology perspective. This on-going expense to the District is offset by roughly $50,000 in E-Rate funding annually.
Additionally, the District applied for funding to help offset the cost of updated networking equipment. The FCC has not yet issued a decision on funding these requests, but K12 Fund's work ensured the applications were completed correctly and completely.
The E-Rate program is a federal program administered through the FCC, designed to provide funds to K-12 schools and libraries to maintain, increase, and enhance connectivity to the Internet.
