AT&T’s Donation Impact – Working to Close the State’s Connectivity Gap

12/26/20

In May of this year Governor Brian P. Kemp announced a donation from AT&T to the Georgia Foundation for Public Education (GFPE). The donation enabled the deployment of 448 Wi-Fi Rangers to 36 school districts in Georgia.

Multiple state agencies came together in collaboration to extend the impact of this gift from AT&T. State Superintendent Richard Woods expressed his thanks, “I wish to thank our industry partners for their generosity and commitment to Georgia’s kids, and the Georgia Foundation for Public Education, Innovation Fund Foundation, and Governor’s Office of Student Achievement for their partnership as well. Expanding Wi-Fi access will be a powerful support for school districts’ summer learning programs, and will ensure a more equitable education system into the new school year.”

GFPE also welcomed flexibility within each school district as they created their own personalized mobilization plans in their goal to reach the highest numbers of unserved students in their communities.
