I work with the state's public libraries and schools on such programs as Broad­band, E-rate and BadgerNet.

Technology Programs and Activities

• Broadband and Internet Access
  The struggle for adequate and affordable broadband connectivity and Internet access in libraries and schools is explained in a detailed paper
• BadgerNet
  BadgerNet is the state's public-sector telecommunications network. All K-12 school districts and public libraries in the state can use BadgerNet. The cost of a BadgerNet circuit is 90% subsidized by the TEACH program.
• E-rate
  Each year Wisconsin schools and libraries receive about $35 million in federal E-rate discounts.Related to this, see the FAQ on CIPA (the filtering act).
  
  To assist in filing E-rate Form 471 applications, an Excel file of 2012-13 enrollment and free/reduced lunch data is online.
