About the Project
Over 1 in 5 of the nation's smallest schools lacked access to high-speed broadband in 2021 according to the FCC. This inequity was underscored throughout the COVID-19 pandemic where virtual learning may have been challenging or impossible.
Action

As part of the Rural Imperative Initiative, you're invited to join RSC and the National Rural Education Association for a two-week rural broadband advocacy campaign, beginning August 1st.
Using the Toolkit
Throughout the document, there will be live links to tweet out images and information regarding rural access to high-speed broadband. Join in on the campaign to raise awareness (August 1-14).
