@tgrierhisd Love it! If I was still on a Board I might have recommended this, not old school at all!!

[David Irwin @davidirwin]

@edukings cool story, thanks for sharing!!

[David Irwin @davidirwin]

There is a reason ISP providers are paying $$$$ for tier 2 access to the CBRS spectrum. Why would you pay for it if tier 3 (GAA) worked just as good?

[David Irwin @davidirwin]

CBRS is still a long way from being a viable long term solution. I'm sure the reference here is to Tier 3 access. Might be a gap fix, and an expensive one at that. https://t.co/5U91x7I9Ip @DA_magazine @Zalaznick @Ali_Christopher @InsightEnt

[David Irwin @davidirwin]

Not a single ISP that has to promise certain speeds will use the GAA tier.

[David Irwin @davidirwin]

The problem is b/c broadband is complicated, most people (certainly school districts) don't know all of the positives and negatives of all of the options.

The ConnEctor Task Force is meeting with @Ali_Christopher today as we explore bringing high speed broadband to every family in Ector County. #EquityMatters #broadband @EctorCountyISD

[Terry Denoyer @terrydenoyer]

Broadband is a necessity. Everyone agrees. Time to be planning for the long-term to get everyone connected is now. #k12leaders #digitaldivide #digitalequity #digitalliteracy https://t.co/FRIcmqrbbe

.@EctorCountyISD has done great work for students and educators throughout the pandemic & is part of the SpaceX pilot program to increase broadband access. Great to meet with CTO Kellie Wilks last week about education technology policy priorities for the Texas K-12 CTO Council.

This is HUGE!! @EctorCountyISD will hold a press conference next week announcing we are the first school district in the United States to ________!!!!

[Daniel Gohl @danielgohl]

Learning is not a competition, and grades should reflect comprehension and preparation for next set of challenges. Rank ordering students by deadline compliance rarely correlates with achievement. Competencies do not map to a normalized grade curve.

[Scott Muri @ScottMuri]

Closing the digital divide is a moral imperative. Permanent solutions are needed for America’s most fragile children. We can and must do better! @chiefsforchange @Alliance_Texas @AASAHQ @tasanet @teainfo @EctorCountyISD #LeadershipMatters https://t.co/M2Ucng639T

Hey congress, we still need broadband access for all. Read this West #Texas case study as an example of typical rural and suburban gaps https://t.co/s52xR0XSll via @Getting_Smart @EctorCountyISD @davidirwin

Please Retweet: Teacher poll.... As #K12 districts move toward beginning the year online - #teachers: What is your top concern with emergency remote teaching and learning in the Fall? (add comments)

Great article written by @davidirwin for K-12 Leadership Matters - we can open schools safely if we let the science shape the decision #BePatient
