Funds For Learning (FFL) and the Alliance for Excellent Education (All4Ed) filed a joint response to the FCC’s Notice of Inquiry in which the FCC asked for feedback to assess the “availability of advanced telecommunications capability to all Americans (including, in particular, elementary and secondary schools and classrooms.)” Funds For Learning and the Alliance for Excellent Education analyzed the available E-rate data and concluded that the FCC has provided more than $1 billion to 42,705 schools nationwide to support Wi-Fi and these funds are supporting the highest-need schools, but there is still much to be done to ensure that all students are benefiting from this access.
