(TNS) — School districts across the state could benefit from a survey that collects broadband connectivity data to help determine whether families have sufficient Internet access.
The survey was created by the Pennsylvania Association of Intermediate Units and Penn State Extension as a way to help districts across the state, including those in Allegheny and Westmoreland counties, have Internet-related data readily available for use in grant applications, including those like the upcoming $7.1 billion Emergency Connectivity Fund.
