Dear Parent/Guardian,
This letter confirms that a student in your household is eligible for free or reduced price school meals under the National School Lunch Program (NSLP) or the School Breakfast Program (SBP) during the 2022-2023 school year:
Eligibility for monthly internet service discount
Because your child is eligible for free or reduced price meals under the NSLP or SBP, you are eligible for the Federal Communications Commission’s (FCC) Affordable Connectivity Program (ACP). The ACP is a federal program to help eligible households pay for internet service. The ACP program provides a credit of up to $30 per month toward internet service along with funding for a device.
Please allow this letter to serve as our support for a coordinated program led by Public Wireless to assist in identifying eligible student households in taking advantage of the ACP. Public Wireless is providing the FCC’s Affordable Connectivity Program to assist districts in utilizing this program to students. Public Wireless is committed to eliminating the burden on districts by assisting in identifying eligible students and implementing the Wi-Fi service as well as configuring and providing a tablet at no charge to the district or to the household.
So essentially Public Wireless through this program is gifting your student/household a free tablet and monthly internet. The tablet will belong to the student/household and not the school district. To be eligible for the free device and monthly internet for your student/household please click on the following link to provide the information that is needed to process this request. https://forms.gle/gwEkegNVaSGPnBRJ8 .This information will not be publicly shared and is for federal program auditing purposes only.
If you have any questions about this announcement, please contact myself or your site administrator.
Sincerely,
Geri Gilstrap
