Arizona lags behind in schools’ internet access, but change is coming

By Yoohyun Jung, Arizona Daily Star

Twenty years ago, internet access was a luxury that only a small number of schools in the country could afford. That’s no longer true . However, data from a nonprofit advocating for better internet access in schools shows Arizona is still lagging. That’s not to say progress isn’t being made; a statewide initiative coupled with federal funding could boost internet connectivity in Arizona’s public and charter schools substantially in coming years. Education Superhighway ranked Arizona 44th worst out of 50 states for connectivity in 2016.
