Cisco Statement on White House E-Rate Announcement

President Obama’s announcement today is a major step toward bringing our nation’s classrooms into the 21st century.  A modernized e-rate program will lay the groundwork for connected classrooms across the country, where students have digital textbooks and access to libraries of information at their fingertips.  This will help our children and grandchildren prepare for an ‘Internet of Everything’ future where technology is integrated into all aspects of work and life.

Under the leadership and vision of Mooresville Graded School District superintendent Dr. Mark Edwards, the Mooresville Middle School where the President made his announcement is a model for how technology can transform a classroom.  We at Cisco stand ready to work with the Obama Administration and the FCC to replicate this model around the country.
