USAC News Brief released today:

February 3, 2017

E-rate Funding Year 2017 Application Filing Window Opens February 27, 2017

Dear E-rate Program Participant:

USAC is pleased to announce the application filing window for Funding Year
(FY) 2017 will open on Monday, February 27, 2017 at 12:00 noon EST and close
on Thursday, May 11, 2017 at 11:59 PM EDT.

All applicants can begin preparing now for successful filing of your FY2017
application by taking the following steps:

  *   Log-in or create your account in the E-rate Productivity
Center<https://portal.usac.org/suite/> (EPC) and then review, update or
assign user rights for anyone who will need access for FY2017. Please note,
Google Chrome is the preferred browser for EPC. No matter what browser you
use, be sure the latest version is installed on your computer.

  *   Review your profile and confirm all of your information is accurate
including your organization's name, address and entities.Your profile is now
unlocked and available for you to insert any further updates but will be
locked again on February 26, 2017 at 11:59 PM EST.

School districts should take extra care to be sure they have inserted the
latest National School Lunch Program (NSLP) student counts (or alternative
discount mechanisms) as well as included new construction, non-instructional
facilities and Adult Education and Head Start programs.

Libraries should confirm their square footage, main branch, and public
school district of the main branch information is correct and that any
bookmobiles or kiosks are included.

  *   If you have not started the competitive bidding process please begin
now. There is no need to wait for the window to open. The USAC
website<http://www.usac.org/sl/applicants/step01/default.aspx> provides
step-by-step instructions.

As always, representatives at our Client Service Bureau (CSB) are available
to help you at 888-203-8100 or simply open a customer service case in EPC.

We recognize that 2016 was a challenging year for many in the E-rate
community and all of us in the Schools and Libraries Division are working to
make 2017 and beyond a simpler, faster and more efficient experience. In
2017, we will be taking steps to improve the stakeholder experience and
continuously improve EPC.

Specifically:

  *   We anticipate a single filing window for 2017 and better
prioritization of application processing so funding decisions are provided
in a timelier manner.

  *   Applicants will recognize the flow of the online application process,
and further enhancements will be available including the "Copy My FRN"
feature along with the templates for uploads of large entries. This will
assist all applicants.

  *   Along with continued enhanced stakeholder education and outreach, the
formation of a stakeholder innovation group who will provide guidance and
feedback on the design of a new applicant portal.

All of us in the Schools and Libraries Division would like to thank you for
your continued cooperation, patience and understanding. We look forward to a
successful 2017 fund year.

Sincerely,

Craig Davis
Vice President, Schools and Libraries Division

The Library of Michigan is still seeking volunteers to
judge<https://goo.gl/forms/1BW5wIRuU1e1mQr92> the 2017 Letters about
Literature program.

Librarians, teachers and educators familiar with English language arts
education, young adult literature, and literary programming for grades 4-12
are welcome. Judging includes reading approximately 50 letters in late
February/early March and one meeting to discuss which letters should be the
winner and finalists. Meeting attendance in person is encouraged, but
conference call attendance is fine. If you are interested, please complete
this form<https://goo.gl/forms/1BW5wIRuU1e1mQr92> & let me know if you are
interested in Level I (grades 4-6), Level II (grades 7-8), or Level III
(grades 9-12). For more information on the program, see the announcement
email below.

Thank you!
~ Cathy

Letters About Literature<http://www.read.gov/letters/> is a reading and
writing contest for students in grades 4-12. Students are asked to read a
book, poem or speech and write to the author (living or dead) about how the
book affected them personally. Letters are judged on state and national
levels. Tens of thousands of students from across the country enter Letters
About Literature each year. If you are in grades 4-12, you are eligible to
enter the Letters About Literature reading and writing contest.
The 2016-2017 Letters About Literature contest for young readers is made
possible by a generous grant from the Dollar General Literacy Foundation,
with additional support from gifts to the Center for the Book in the Library
of Congress, which promotes the contest through its affiliate Centers for
the Book, state libraries and other organizations.

Hello!

We're starting to schedule our Spring and Summer 2017 free maker workshops
and are pleased to announce these two dates for half-day GETTING STARTED
WITH DESIGN THINKING workshops. All are welcome: classroom teachers,
librarians, after-school educators, scout leaders, and more!

WORKSHOP DESCRIPTION:

Design thinking is a strategy and a process for engaging students with
real-world problems in a way that is fun, flexible, and academically
challenging. It helps students think creatively about solving problems,
inventing solutions, and engineering products within existing curriculum
standards. The process gives structure to educators and workshop
facilitators while keeping thinking open-ended for students. In this
hands-on, engaging workshop, we?ll explore ways to bring design thinking
into your library programming or classroom learning.

*Friday, February 17, 2017, 11:30am - 2:45pm*

Target Audience: Middle & high school age

Mills Community House / Benzonia Public Library (south of Traverse City)
