Earlier this month, we had the pleasure of attending the C3 Conference at a high school in Mission Hills, California, representing Funds For Learning. This event, organized by the Archdiocese of Los Angeles, is an annual gathering that brings together educators, school leaders, and faith-based community members from across the region. The conference’s primary goal is to provide valuable resources and training to help educators better serve their students and vocational challenges.
This year’s theme, “Elevate,” highlighted the importance of using technology and innovation to enhance learning experiences. The event covered a wide range of topics, from leveraging educational technology in the classroom to practical strategies for promoting holistic well-being among students and administrators.
We were honored to lead two sessions during the conference: “E-rate Seasons” and “E-rate Common Pitfalls.” These sessions were specifically designed to offer educators practical steps to ensure they remain E-rate compliant. By understanding these processes, schools can secure the necessary funding to transform their students’ educational experiences.
In addition to our formal presentations, we engaged in several in-depth conversations with individual schools about their unique E-rate situations. We discussed tailored strategies to help these schools prepare for a successful filing window for Funding Year 2025.
Representing Funds For Learning at the C3 Conference was a valuable opportunity for us to connect with educators, share knowledge, and contribute to the ongoing mission of improving education through technology and innovation.
