E-Rate Services

Kellogg & Sovereign® Consulting, LLC has been helping schools & libraries with the E-Rate program (Schools & Libraries Universal Service Discount Mechanism) since the beginning of the program in 1997. We can assist your school and/or library in all aspects of the E-Rate program from preparing your Technology Plan to filing for reimbursement.

Since we are not a vendor (service provider) of any qualifying E-Rate services, SLD allows you to authorize us to prepare and submit your E-Rate documentation on your behalf.

 Our E-Rate services include:
  • Assist with preparation of your technology plan. Confirm approval of plan by SLD designated technology plan approver.
  • Unlimited use of Kellogg & Sovereign Consulting's on-line Technology Plan Creator
  • Review your technology plan for compliance with SLD requirements including CIPA (Children's Internet Protection Act).
