Description: COVID-19 has shaken up everything we know, and the reality is we have to prepare for the next chapter of opening up the country, including our children going back to school. It is uncertain what the new school year will look like, whether kids are back in the classrooms or continuing online. One thing we know for sure is it will not be a regular school calendar year. For economically challenged communities where they have no access to the internet or devices to connect to a remote classroom, those schools and communities must get creative and plan now on how to extend their on-campus network to the community.
Join us to talk about how you can close the "homework gap/remote gap" for your schools now by using the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act and into the future without having to wait for E-rate funding.
Holly Davis is a leading expert in K12 as a business and her discussion will include how to get the funding you need to ensure your students stay connected even when they are learning remotely. Holly will be joined by Jason Claybrook from Aura Wireless to discuss a unique solution to extending the classroom's boundary from campus to community.
