State Superintendent of Public Instruction Tom Torlakson on Monday announced $50 million in grant funding for California schools to enhance networking infrastructure.
“Because of a wise investment approved by the Legislature and Gov. Jerry Brown, an additional $50 million is available to help schools connect to the state’s education network,” said Torlakson in a statement. “This will give students access to technology that will prepare them for college and careers, and give teachers more resources to improve instruction.”
In January, Torlakson announced a first wave of $27 million in Broadband Infrastructure and Improvement Grants for schools and districts to boost connectivity.
