NASBE Praises FCC’s Push to Ensure E-Rate Funding to Connect Classrooms Across the Country

Arlington, Va. – National Association of State Boards of Education (NASBE) Executive Director Kristen Amundson today praised the FCC for establishing meaningful new broadband goals for the nation’s schools and for ensuring that E-rate funding is available to begin connecting every classroom to WiFi. “Promoting digital equity for students is a high priority for NASBE,” says Amundson. “The FCC’s decision today to establish meaningful new broadband connectivity goals for the nation’s schools and set aside dedicated funding for connecting every learning space to WiFi will have a big impact on teaching and learning.”
