Overview
Leaders should evaluate provider options by cost and speed so they can meet the minimum bandwidth targets set by the FCC and accomplish instructional goals. By understanding how much bandwidth other schools districts in an area buy and how much they pay for those services, schools districts will be armed with information to negotiate for significantly more bandwidth for their schools. Compare & Connect K-12 has been designed as a resource for leaders in state government and school district administrators including superintendents and technology directors, as well as service providers who are helping districts upgrade their connectivity.
