Leave no part of Virginia behind: Jennifer Carroll Foy releases plan to expand broadband access

Bill Aims to Expand Broadband Access for Low-Income Virginia Students

The reduced rate broadband would be eligible for students who qualify for child nutrition programs and other programs that are recognized by the school board as a measure to identify at-risk students. That means programs that are funded by the U.S. Department of Agriculture, such as the schools’ breakfast, lunch and after school snack programs. U.S. Sen. Chris Van Hollen says an estimated 18% of students around the country have no access to internet and 17% don’t have a home computer. News4 Investigative Reporter Jodie Fleischer explains the challenges this presents as classes go online because of the coronavirus.
