Student access to robust digital tools is key to their success as 21st-century citizens. Yet many students from economically disadvantaged families have limited access to these tools both at school and at home. Clearly, there is a great deal of work that needs to be done. Closing the gap will require a broad approach involving schools and communities working together.
CoSN created the Community Leadership Award for Digital Access to encourage and recognize those districts that are working to eliminate inequities and narrow the access gap.
Eligibility
All school districts and educational service agencies (serving multiple districts) teams are eligible for CoSN’s Community Leadership Award for Digital Access.
