Coalition Letter to Senator Brian Schatz Signed on by ALA in Opposition to Eyes on the Board Legislation

Abstract

The undersigned education and library organizations write to express our deep concerns about a version of the Eyes on the Board legislation that we understand you intend to introduce at the Senate Commerce Committee’s mark-up on May 1. We are concerned that this bill’s effort to address social media problems through the E-Rate could cause substantial problems for the thousands of public and private schools that rely on E-Rate support for broadband and Wi-Fi.
