On December 5, 2022, The Los Angeles County Office of Education (LACOE) submitted an Ex Parte letter to the FCC urging the Commission to update the FY2023 E-rate Eligible Services List (ESL) to better address the growing and demanding cybersecurity needs for schools. The Ex Parte submission noted that, “Given the seriousness of this challenge facing all K-12 agencies, we respectfully urge the Commission to permit E-rate application in 2023 and beyond to use Category 2 funds for cyber security infrastructure and services.”
