Corning Elementary Internet Project

Summary of Project

  • Goal is to make school internet (speed and security) available to students in their homes
  • TCDE worked with Corning El to develop an RFP for the project
  • Received multiple proposals, the most feasible of which utilize a system of local towers and hotspots to broadcast the internet to students
  • Towers at school sites broadcast District’s internet
  • Should cover all of Corning city limits, or about 1,400 families between the two districts

​

  • District purchase hotspots that can only receive the school internet signal, provide to students
  • Internet can only be used for educational purposes in order to not create conflict with local providers
  • All up front costs will be paid for by CUESD
  • CUHSD will need to purchase new hotspots that are compatible with this system, we will like use Federal Covid funding to do this
