From the meeting
The superintendent prepared letters to federal representatives urging preservation of the E-Rate program and continued Category 1 and Category 2 support. The letters were directed to Senator Dick Durbin, Senator Tammy Duckworth, Congresswoman Lauren Underwood, and Congressman Darin LaHood. This is not a purchase, but it shows the district's reliance on federal connectivity funding and the leadership influencing future technology budgets.
