NPRM question: Since the birth of the federal E-Rate program in 1996, KY K-12 has regularly been a top 5 recipient in the amount of funds received per student. In 2026 it will bring in $54M ($45M to districts and $9M to KDE) for education technology. The FCC recently announced that they are considering making major changes to the E-Rate program. This could have major negative financial consequences to every school, district office, and KDE office. Initial feedback to the FCC from districts and KDE has occurred. You still have an opportunity to respond and participate. Mike Leadingham.
