      Designed for school administrators, policymakers, and others concerned about communications and education, this report first traces the ideas and political forces that led to establishment of the E-Rate. It then looks at the practical issues confronting school districts as they seek to seize the opportunities the E-Rate affords. After examining how four school districts have used the program, the report provides a toolkit that school officials can use to organize, conceptualize, and communicate information about the impact of the program on their districts. Finally, it suggests resources for learning more about the E-Rate. The report contains the following chapters: (1) "E-Rate 101: How the Program Works"; (2) "E-Rate Policy: Universal Service in Education and Communications" (Anthony Wilhelm and Jorge Reina Schement); (3) "E-Rate Politics: A Brief History" (Andy Carvin); (4) "The E-Rate in Practice: Research Findings in Four Midwestern Cities" (Margaret Honey and Katie McMillan Culp); and (5) "An Educator's Toolkit: Planning and Evaluation of the Impact of the E-Rate Program" (Margaret Honey and Katie McMillan Culp). Appendices include a summary of legislative proposals related to the E-Rate and a list of E-Rate online resources. (MES)
