With assistance from not-for-profit EducationSuperHighway, ADE is working with schools and districts to make the most of the E-Rate dollars available to them. In addition to discounts the school or district is already eligible for through E-Rate, a state match of up to 10% will in turn be matched by E-Rate at the same rate.
