Expanded Outreach Process
The purpose of this initiative is to better understand how the Schools and Libraries support is used by the applicants. During each visit, USAC representatives plan to review documentation and the different methods applicants use to manage the process. The representatives will also check the physical equipment and services to see how they are being used and maintained. The visits have two main components: office outreach and site outreach.
During the office outreach, the site reviewer will meet at the main office with the person responsible for managing the program in the area/district. The site reviewer will gather information regarding training, document management, the application process, and on the program in general. The site reviewer will review invoices, equipment information, and the documentation process.
During the site outreach, the site reviewer will meet with the technology contact that is responsible for the physical equipment provided by the program at the site where the equipment is located and the services are provided. The site reviewer will be checking the physical equipment and equipment locations, as well as conducting teacher/librarian interviews regarding the use of technology.
