Schools and libraries must file for discounts for those eligible services. These discounts may be used for any eligible service, and are paid directly to the companies that provide schools and libraries with these technology services. Clicking here will take you to a detailed and comprehensive list of services, the USAC Eligible Services List. The e-rate means that the rate or level schools and libraries pay for services is discounted. If filing for shared services, the school corporation would average the percent discount for all its buildings to receive a weighted average discount.
Libraries use the weighted average discount calculated for the school district in which they reside.
Coker Consolidated School Corporation has five school buildings, with a total of 1742 students. The weighted product is divided by the total number of students to yield a weighted average discount of 62 percent, which is Coker School Corporation's shared discount on USF eligible services. Coker Public Library would also receive a 62 percent discount on USF eligible services-the same discount as the school corporation in which it resides.
