Donna Woods - Notice of Suspension from E-Rate and USF Programs

The FCC Enforcement Bureau has suspended Donna Woods from all activities related to E-Rate and Universal Service Fund programs based on her criminal conviction. This suspension prevents her from involvement in any capacity with these federal telecommunications subsidy programs, which provide billions of dollars annually to support broadband connectivity for schools and libraries. The Bureau has also initiated formal debarment proceedings, which upon completion would extend the exclusion beyond the suspension period.

Affected parties including telecommunications service providers, schools, libraries, and other entities participating in or partnering with E-Rate and USF programs must ensure they do not engage suspended or debarred individuals. These enforcement actions underscore the FCC's authority to enforce program integrity requirements and exclude individuals with criminal convictions from federal subsidy programs.
