Parents voice concerns over Wi-Fi hotspots in Peach County being centrally located
Many of the hotspots are located close together, leaving some families who live farther out without internet for school work. Author: Katelyn Sabater (13WMAZ) Updated: 7:07 AM EST January 20, 2021
FORT VALLEY, Ga. Peach County schools have set up wireless hotspots around the county for students who need internet access, but some families don t live close enough to the centrally located spots to use them.
For Katelyn Barton, the mother of three Peach County students, many of the hotspots provided by the school district are too far away.
“I get that a majority of our children are within city limits, but the city limits of Fort Valley have a lot more internet providers, unlike the rest of us that don’t have anything,” she said.
