Hi John,

We live in an increasingly digital world – and because of the current pandemic, most schools have joined that trend with online homework, discussion forums, even live classes with educators teaching remotely.

Unfortunately, many students don’t have access to the Internet at home, and are unintentionally falling behind academically. Conservative state leaders in states like Alabama, Georgia, and Texas have come up with a creative solution – school bus WiFi hotspots.

Some school buses are being outfitted with WiFi hotspots and are being deployed to underserved neighbors. Anywhere a student goes where the bus is visible, the student will have access to the Internet. Public/private partnerships like this pave the way for innovative solutions to problems that states are currently facing.

Sincerely,

Casey Dietrich
