Here is information regarding the Emergency Broadband Benefit (EBB) program and the affordable Home Internet offers for eligible families.<\/p>\n

Updated fliers<link.edgepilot.com\/s\/73088c94\/j6_hE5fteEKR9e0PU6btdQ?u=https:\/\/d3n8a8pro7vhmx.cloudfront.net\/cetf\/pages\/520\/attachments\/original\/1621887306\/2021_05_Statewide_EBB_Orange_ENG_SPA.pdf?1621887306<\/a>> are now available for school districts to distribute to low-income families. Click here <link.edgepilot.com\/s\/a0aa6e32\/sinvyJFdvkGMOxajOpBgDA?u=https:\/\/www.internetforallnow.org\/applytoday<\/a>> to download the fliers that are available in multiple languages.<\/p>\n

To qualify for the low-cost Home Internet offers, applicants can visit the link.edgepilot.com\/s\/cd3f9935\/pOzsI0Zq3E_7CFG0WbwCTQ?u=http:\/\/www.everyoneon.org\/cetf<\/a> website and follow these east steps:
\n1. Provide the zip code for where they live. 2. Check the relevant boxes for programs they participate in — like the National School Lunch Program. 3. Select a Service Provider and sign up for home service.<\/p>\n

Families can also call 866-969-8748 and connect with a local non-profit for assistance in subscribing to an Internet offer.<\/p>\n

As you may recall, our affordable Home Internet offers has support from the California Broadband Council and as a result of the Governor’s Executive Order<link.edgepilot.com\/s\/4bc21f3c\/_tSJrAc2-E2Q7nDs8YPw4w?u=https:\/\/www.gov.ca.gov\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/8.14.20-EO-N-73-20.pdf<\/a>>, we are required to report on school districts that have participated in a flier distribution. To do this, please visit this LINK<link.edgepilot.com\/s\/b316e786\/SjvCGJ3KMUWOH07kRpfD3A?u=https:\/\/forms.gle\/rk5JhFRsDDyAVehbA<\/a>> to report that your district has completed flier distribution. This information is vital to the governor’s ongoing work and the FCC’s ongoing work to greatly expand broadband infrastructure and service.<\/p>\n

Thank you so much!<\/p>\n
