I'm not an expert on legislation, but my supervisor did some research on
this and verified that there has even been at least one court case where
an adult school (not in California) took this issue to federal court and
lost. While I'm sure he'd be happy to find out otherwise, the school
district is not budging and they seem to have the court on their side.

Barry,

Why are your adult students not covered under the e-rate?  I believe  
that young adults in charter schools, regardless of age, are covered  
in California.  Is this not the case?  Is there a regulation that  
says adults are not eligible?

Thanks.
