The Sandwich School District has received a grant through the Department of Elementary and Secondary Education that will provide Chromebooks to dozens of families in need.
Assistant Superintendent Maureen Wiklund said she had applied for the grant last spring when the schools closed due to the pandemic, because the district quickly realized that some families did not have a computer at home.
Not only did this mean that a number of students were unable to access their classwork and virtual meetings, but not having a device at home means that those families might not be able to access other things such as soccer registration and, more recently, setting up COVID-19 vaccination appointments.
