How the 3 Diallo Sisters Were Finally Able to Connect to Their Classes
The city said it would be “impossible” to quickly install Wi-Fi in shelters for remote learning. Some shelter operators have proven them wrong.

School days at the Diallo sisters’ apartment in the Bronx can be hectic.
Adama, the oldest, attends high school from the black couch in the corner of their apartment in a family homeless shelter. Her 10-year-old sister, Hawaou, sits nearby at the dining table, firing back answers to her math teacher’s questions. Her youngest sister, Aissatou, 7, sprawled on a bed in the other room, giggles her way through her second-grade lessons.

A federal judge advanced a lawsuit to expedite the roll-out of WiFi to homeless shelters across the city.
There are more than 114,000 homeless students in New York City.
The class-action suit was filed on behalf of homeless students across the city who have been unable to access the internet in homeless shelters during periods of remote learning this year.
The city provided students with iPads with unlimited cellular data, but many students have had trouble getting proper cell service.
A lawsuit aimed at forcing New York City to provide WiFi for students in homeless shelters is moving forward to trial.
