MiConnect Device Purchasing Rebate Program Announced
October 16, 2020
As most of you know, MAISA was awarded $25 million for federal grant, PA 0123 Sec. 602 (previously SB690, now identified as “MiConnect”). MiConnect is made up of three projects, Connectivity, Device Purchasing, and Cybersecurity, all centered around supporting distance learning expenditures that were incurred due to the public health emergency with respect to the Coronavirus Disease.MAISA has partnered with the REMC Association to award Device Purchasing rebates to all eligible K-12 districts and is eager to begin directing these funds into schools with your assistance.
The MiConnect project team is happy to announce the process which all Michigan K-12 public school district's are eligible to complete if they have purchased off of the REMC Device Purchasing contract or another REMC contract from March 1, 2020 - September 30, 2020.
District's need to:
Upload POs into REMC’s SPOT Portal (only if purchase orders are NOT already in SPOT from purchasing through the Device Purchasing contract)
Receive rebate check from Copper Country ISD, fiscal agent for MiConnect Device Purchasing
We hope this process will be simple for you, however, please feel free to contact the MiConnect Device Purchasing Project Manager, Karen Hairston, with any questions at karen@remc.orgor by emailingmiconnect@gomaisa.org.
