Digital Equity is important work and @OfficeofEdTech @usedgov@DigitalPromise are all working together to set an example of collaboration. Thank you for listening to a diverse set of leaders explaining our challenges. #ECISDLeads@EctorCountyISD@DAndreWeaver
.@EctorCountyISD, under Supt. @ScottMuri, is closing the digital divide. Speaking at @USEDGov National Digital Equity Summit, the district's CTO, @kelliew41, says the school system is partnering with the city, county, and others to expand broadband and build a stronger community.
Lots going on today to draw attention to the Affordable Connectivity Program. It's a big deal! It's the nation's largest-ever #broadband affordability effort & it has already helped 11.5 million households get online. So proud of @FCC staff for their work developing this program.
Thank you to @SHLBCoalition for sharing our blog post about how CFC members @DFennoy, @chadgestson, @scontrerasGCS, and @ScottMuri are working to permanently close the digital divide. We appreciate SHLB's partnership in expanding access to high-quality broadband.
Friday at 2:30ET I’ll be doing my first ever AMA with @broadbandmoney! In anticipation of that @BroadbandCensus just published my latest article on how #USDA is reshaping #broadband#policy!

Had a great meeting with the @DallasFed during our Digital Inclusivity Workshop. Included was @kelliew41 from ECISD, @TxLnghrnJen, & other key stakeholders throughout Tx & NM. #Broadband and specifically closing the #DigitalDivide in Ector County is a priority! #LeadForward
This country needs @gigibsohn as an #FCC commissioner. Now that we are through the nonsense of the Commerce Committee, the Senate needs to confirm her without haste.
All Americans deserve reliable broadband.
A historic investment from the bipartisan infrastructure law can help make that a reality. https://t.co/AK2caL30Gb #SOTU
Great speech tonight from @POTUS — especially appreciated that he invited Joshua Davis, a 7th grader and T1 diabetic from Midlothian. It’s time to cap the price of insulin at $35/month for those that need it, like Joshua.
As k-12 schools, colleges & universities contemplate a return to online instruction they MUST ensure every student has access to high quality, affordable #broadband. Every school should have a Broadband Plan as #connectivity is a matter of diversity, equity, and inclusion!
Local and state officials, have you registered for a Public Virtual Listening Session? @NTIAgov needs community-level insights for its broadband grant program development and implementation. #DigitalEquity#Access#Deployment#MiddleMile#StatePrograms https://t.co/zz33uUsj8m
Just arrived in the mail! Congratulations @terrydenoyer on the publication of #BreakingtheInternet! Can’t wait to read it again (I’ve already read it twice)! For those interested in community innovation and #broadband, this is the book to read!
When COVID shut us down, there wasn’t guidance for districts & communities on #digitalequity and reliable internet connection… 💻🌎
So @EctorCountyISD & Odessa got to work and @terrydenoyer wrote a book about it! 😎
And I wrote a forward for the book! Check it out y’all! 📚
@KatieLobosco nails it here: why community engagement is critical, how long the broadband planning and funding process can take, and how the IIJA will be a game changer for communities across the country. https://t.co/zPaCpuMAWW
