Verizon Communications Inc. on Wednesday said it was amending an
agreement with the Los Angeles Unified School District to help
school districts in California enable distance learning.
Verizon said the original agreement enabled Los Angeles Unified
to provide internet access at no cost to students whose families
couldn't otherwise afford it. The amended agreement will allow
distance learning for hundreds of thousands of additional students
in the state, the company said.
Tony Thurmond, the state superintendent of public instruction,
said: "Access to technology is as critical to academic success as a
textbook. This development helps move the needle in our efforts to
level the playing field for all students, now and in the years
ahead."
