Ensure Every Student Has a device and Internet
As schools reopen, millions of students need help when it comes to distance learning. Many lack high-speed internet, or don't have a laptop or tablet. We urge you to make a district-wide priority to ensure that every student has access to a tablet or laptop and internet access.
Why is this important?
It’s back to school time, and most students are returning to remote learning. But for millions of kids who don’t have a device or internet access, remote learning is virtually impossible–especially for children who are already struggling because of low family income, language access, or racial barriers. *Every* kid deserves to have a chance at remote learning, and all school districts doing remote learning must make sure each student has a tablet or laptop with internet access.
