On September 30, 2025, the FCC ended E-Rate eligibility for off-campus Wi-Fi hotspots and Wi-Fi on school buses. The change takes effect in Funding Year 2025, and E-Rate now supports only services delivered on school and library premises.
Funding Year 2024 school bus Wi-Fi awards are not affected. The program denied FY2025 requests for hotspots and bus Wi-Fi.

Farmington Municipal Schools is a large rural district in New Mexico with 21 schools and more than 11,500 students. Many of them ride the bus for over an hour each way.
