Divya Sridhar is the Director of Digital Equity Policy for ExcelinEd.
Earlier this year, ExcelinEd published guidance on how states could utilize 3.2 billion in funding for the FCC Emergency Broadband Connectivity Program and get hundreds of thousands of K-12 students and educators connected to broadband. With the enrollment process opening on April 26th and funding is first come, first serve, it is imperative that states, school districts and communities are aware of this opportunity. We partnered with EducationSuperHighway to develop a step-by-step guide for states that highlights how to increase awareness, participation and enrollment of students and their households in this program.
