Connectivity

The 2019-20 school year presented many challenges for public education as we were forced to shift to remote learning for extended periods of time. This experience exacerbated economic and financial needs for families and brought heightened awareness to the need to expand broadband access across the state. The NCDLMI asked individual schools to report average percentage of students with home Internet connectivity. NCDPI also keeps data on school poverty levels so we did some comparisons using these two data points and found some interesting, yet expected correlations.
