Natomas Unified School District and Comcast to provide free Wi-Fi to low-income families
“The internet has become an everyday utility – like electricity and water – yet some Sacramento families are still trying to bridge that digital divide. To help them, the Natomas Unified School District is giving free home Wi-Fi internet access to 1,000 low-income families to help more of the district’s students access educational materials away from the classroom. The program is in partnership with Comcast, which is providing equipment and service to the homes. The district kicked off the program Friday night by inviting families to sign up at Jefferson School’s Fall Harvest Festival. Representatives from the district and Comcast created stations to check families in and help them fill out their applications.”
