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.

competitive bidding process please begin now. There is no need to wait for
the window to open. The USAC website
provides step-by-step instructions.
As
always, representatives at our Client Service Bureau (CSB) are
