The Covid19 outbreak has made the need for wireless connectivity to every family an immediate and pressing need for the continued education of all our students. Please consider that now more than ever, education can no longer be confined to within the walls of the physical school.

We live in an isolated area and with COVID-19 we have found that about 30% of our young families do not have the infrastructure needed for access to the Internet.

Too many children can't connect to their teachers or their schools right now. Help stem their learning loss by funding more connectivity today.

Without student connectivity, there is little chance that students can be educated remotely, equitably during this, or other, school closures.

This is critical in our region at all times, not just in times of crisis. Frontier schools need better connectivity and greater access to online content due to a dearth of teachers.

In our community the majority of our students don't have internet access in their homes. The only option is the phone company and they require you to also have a landline so it gets quite expensive. (This is a low income area). Cell service is spotty in our town and unreliable.

We found out how vulnerable our student population was during COVID. Even if students had a cell phone with service, the costs mounted rapidly when they needed to interact with teachers and classmates in a video format. For some, even though they had a good download connection, uploading assignments or work was nearly impossible.
