Ohio Connectivity Champions help connect Cleveland students to InternetIndustry Announcements, , 4/26/2022
COLUMBUS, Ohio – The Ohio Connectivity Champions (OCC) partnered with the Cleveland Metropolitan School District (CMSD) to help deploy free Internet service to more than 6,000 district households during the 2021-2022 school year ensuring online access to health, employment, school, skill improvement and the economy. In September 2021, CMSD was awarded approximately $12 million from the Emergency Connectivity Fund, a federal $7.17 billion program that helps schools and libraries provide the tools and services needed for remote learning during the pandemic. As part of Spectrum's Stay Connected K-12 program and EmpowerCLE+, more than 6,000 high-speed modems were distributed to households in CMSD's district. The Champions also help CMSD with address changes, identifying household internet needs, verifying installation of needed internet, ensuring that unneeded modems were returned, and making sure that households that do need modems are scheduled to receive one. OCC has made over 10,300 calls to CMSD households — completing over 4,900 requests — and will reach out again to families who have not been successfully connected. OCC assists all Ohioans with Internet connection, and can be reached at www.ohio-k12.help/remotedx, email or text at [email protected], and by phone 844-K12-OHIO (844-512-6446). Ohio's Information Technology Centers work together through a statewide network known as the Ohio Education Computer Network (OECN). The Management Council coordinates and supports the collaborative efforts of the OECN, which implements a broad spectrum of academic and administrative technologies across Ohio's PreK-12 education system.
