Virtual Learning Days require internet access to participate in live instruction. If your family is experiencing connectivity challenges, BCSC is here to help.
The FCC has received money to help families with broadband. Families can qualify for up to $50/month toward broadband service and up to $100 for a device.
Families are eligible if they qualify for free and reduced-price lunch, SNAP, Medicaid, or LifeLine.
