Device distribution for elementary and middle school students is still being explored along with plans for greater digital implementation in a one-to-one capacity at the start of the next school year.
"We recognize that there is a digital divide in our school community, and we are working tirelessly to provide online connection for our youth who don't currently have it," added McNulty. "Our students deserve access to every learning opportunity like in any other school district."
