Great news!

Governor Lamont today announced that Connecticut is the first state in the nation to provide a learning device to every PK-12 student in need.

In response to the COVID-19 pandemic and shift to distance learning in districts statewide, the State Department of Education collected data on homes without a learning device or internet connection. Using that data, the nonprofit organization Partnership for Connecticut spent $24 million for 60,000 laptops to high school students in need, and the Everybody Learns initiative, which included $43.5 million from the state’s portion of the federal CARES Act, purchased 82,000 laptops and 44,000 at-home internet connections for Connecticut students.

Governor Lamont said these two initiatives have invested more money per student in remote learning than all but two other states in the nation and makes Connecticut a leader among Northeast states.
