“These K-12 institutions all serve as leading examples of how to stand up and measure distance learning programs”
Given the current challenges associated with safely re-opening the new school year, many schools will continue to focus on remote learning to some extent for the foreseeable future. A recent initiative of the Schools, Health & Libraries Broadband (SHLB) Coalition, the State E-rate Coordinators Alliance (SECA), and Funds for Learning (FFL) proposes for US Congress to provide additional technology and other funding for schools that are facing the daunting task in front of them. In the meantime, schools are looking to their peers for guideposts on how to ensure devices and learning resources are accessible to every student and protected with reliable security controls.
