Families of Clarke County students may qualify for discounted internet service

Families of students in the Clarke County School District may be eligible to receive a discount of up to $30 per month toward broadband internet service. That assistance comes from the Affordable Connectivity Program provided by the Federal Communications Commission.

The benefit also provides up to a $100 per household discount toward a one-time purchase of a computer, laptop, or tablet.

For more information, and to see details on who is eligible, see the Clarke County School District’s website.
