WINS Agreement ActivitiesWINS Agreement Activities Nov 22nd :

Enclosed are the detailed specifications for Internet Services for filing your 470 form for E-rate.  These specifications are based on what we are currently receiving through the WINS agreement with Widener.

Widener will provide the IU with a new three-year agreement to provide these services.  The IU will then sell those services to the districts as we have done in the past.

Based on our last superintendents' meeting, we decided we would all submit these specs individually on a 470 to get responses from vendors.  It is important that you forward this information to the person in your district that files for E-rate ASAP.  The application needs to be customized for your district (insert your district’s name, address, contact info and the due date for vendors to respond).

If you have any questions, please let me know.
