Even before the pandemic, our students relied on computers and internet access at home for 21st century learning, which is why the Roaring Fork Schools have been working to connect all students to internet access for several years.
In 2015, the district piloted a wifi solution, in partnership with the city of Glenwood Springs, that provided free internet access to a low-income neighborhood in Glenwood Springs. While this traditional wifi solution was successful in connecting students in a single neighborhood to internet access, we quickly learned that the type of technology used would not scale to serve large coverage areas.
