Enhancing Connectivity: NH Schools’ Fiber and Wi-Fi Initiative

DESCRIPTION

New Hampshire is on a mission to equip every school with fiber connections and ubiquitous Wi-Fi, maximizing E-Rate utilization. E-Rate dollars, funded by citizens through universal service fees, provide essential support for technology in schools and libraries, particularly for those with high percentages of free and reduced lunch students. Currently, New Hampshire is a donor state, utilizing less than 45% of available E-Rate funds. Programs like the Community Reinvestment Act (CRA) funding can help close the funding gap, ensuring all students have the resources they need for success.
