Washington, DC. – El congresista Brad Schneider (IL-10) anunció que el Décimo Distrito recibió $8.2 millones del Plan de Rescate Estadounidense para brindarles a los estudiantes acceso a Internet confiable. Schneider ayudó a aprobar el Plan de Rescate Estadounidense en marzo pasado, que incluyó $7 mil millones para el Fondo de Conectividad de Emergencia para cerrar la brecha digital y ayudar a los estudiantes a tener éxito durante la educación remota y más allá.
“Los niños que no tienen acceso a Internet en casa a menudo se quedan atrás, sin las herramientas básicas que necesitan para prosperar. Este financiamiento crítico del Plan de Rescate Estadounidense cerrará la brecha digital en el Décimo Distrito al garantizar que los estudiantes desde Round Lake hasta Wheeling tengan acceso confiable a Internet”, dijo Schneider.
Los estudios indican que hasta 16 millones de estudiantes en todo el país no tienen servicio de Internet en el hogar, lo que dificulta completar la tarea o investigar una vez que termina el día escolar. termina El Fondo de Conectividad de Emergencia es un programa de $7.17 mil millones que se creó como parte del Plan de Rescate Estadounidense para ayudar a brindar alivio a millones de estudiantes, personal escolar y usuarios de bibliotecas y para ayudar a cerrar la brecha de tareas para los estudiantes que actualmente carecen del acceso a Internet necesario o los dispositivos que necesitan para conectarse a las aulas.
Para las escuelas y bibliotecas elegibles, el Programa ECF cubrirá los costos razonables de computadoras portátiles y tabletas; puntos de acceso Wi-Fi; módems; enrutadores; y compras de conectividad de banda ancha para uso fuera del campus por parte de los estudiantes, el personal escolar y los usuarios de la biblioteca.
Schools receive millionaire fund for internet
Congressman Brad Schneider (IL-10) announced that the Tenth District has received $8.2 million from the American Rescue Plan to provide students with access to reliable internet. Schneider helped pass the American Rescue Plan last March, which included $7 billion for the Emergency Connectivity Fund to bridge the digital divide and help students succeed during remote schooling and beyond.
“Kids without internet access at home are often left behind, without the basic tools they need to thrive. This critical funding from the American Rescue Plan will bridge the digital divide in the Tenth District by ensuring that students from Round Lake to Wheeling have reliable internet access,” Schneider said.
Studies indicate that as many as 16 million students nationwide don’t have internet service at home, making it difficult to complete homework or to do research once the school day ends.
The Emergency Connectivity Fund is a $7.17 billion program that was created as part of the American Rescue Plan to help provide relief to millions of students, school staff, and library patrons and to help close the Homework Gap for students who currently lack necessary Internet access or the devices they need to connect to classrooms.
For eligible schools and libraries, the ECF Program will cover reasonable costs of laptop and tablet computers; Wi-Fi hotspots; modems; routers; and broadband connectivity purchases for off-campus use by students, school staff, and library patrons.
