Pennsylvania E-rate Listserve
In order to provide Pennsylvania’s schools and libraries with updated information concerning program changes, pitfalls, filing reminders, funding announcements, and trainings, the Pennsylvania maintains an active one-way listserve. Typically, 4-8 messages are sent per month, depending on program activity. To subscribe, e-mail Julie Tritt Schell at jtschell@comcast.net with your name, organization and e-mail address (e-mail addresses are never shared). A list of previous listserve messages dating back to the program’s inception can be found under Listserve Archives.
