Internet Connectivity

Area businesses are working on connectivity issues for families. Below are some resources families can contact.

  • Xfinity - Xfinity wifi hotspots in out-of-home locations will be available for free to anyone who needs them, including non-Xfinity internet customers. Click here for more information
  • AT&T - Public wifi hotspots will remain open for anyone who needs them. Unlimited AT&T home internet for all AT&T consumer home internet wireline customers, as well as fixed wireless internet. Additionally, they will continue to offer internet access for qualifying limited income households at $10/month. Click here for more information
In addition to the above services, our local county office of education, along with the California Department of Education and Google, are working to get internet and devices to rural areas. Based on the survey we took on Friday, March 20, many of our families indicated they had adequate internet access. If that has changed or the access does not meet the demand of Distance Learning as we now know it, please contact me. This will help us identify access points for better internet access.
