While school bus WiFi is a vital component of a school or district’s digital equity efforts, its impacts reach far beyond supporting students without Internet access at home.
From reducing behavioral incidents and increasing driver satisfaction to enabling administrator visibility and ensuring student safety, school bus WiFi solutions provide across-the-board benefits to district stakeholders.
Join Kajeet and STN for this webinar conversation as we discuss the benefits of school bus WiFi solutions and the funding sources that are available to support these initiatives.
We will hear from Billy Huish, transportation director at Farmington Municipal Schools in New Mexico, as he shares how Farmington’s bus WiFi program has benefited transportation administrators, transformed his bus fleet, and supported the district’s students, families, and community as a whole.
