Yes every single student (other than preschool) in Clarksville- Montgomery County in TN was signed out a laptop that they were to transport back and forth to school each day and any family that asked for a hot spot got one. We're a pretty average district, so I don't think it was out of the norm. I know some very small districts did not, but I also know of others who did the same.That's amazing, where did the funding come from for that? I'm reading stories that there were districts throughout that weren't given the laptops and internet connectivity. Are you sure that every student actually got them? And that it was at the state level and not county or school district level?
I didn't work in finance, so I'm not sure where the funding came from...it was not a grant or anything just part of our struggling budget like most districts encountered with the pandemic.
