Broadband gaps exposed by pandemic spur expansive funding push
Officials describe rural connectivity shortfalls highlighted by 2020 remote learning. State and federal programs, including CARES Act funds, USDA ReConnect grants, and FCC Rural Digital Opportunity Fund, aim to extend broadband to Kershaw and Orangeburg counties and beyond. Local leaders urge faster action to prevent widening student achievement gaps.
District eyes bond funded upgrades for rural broadband needs
Aiken County schools, serving over 47 thousand students, plan to use renewed 2010 2014 and 2020 bonds to fuel nearly 700 million in upgrades through 2028 while expanding state and federal funding. Broadband gaps persist in rural areas with around 3 000 students lacking Wi Fi or fiber as officials warn on digital equity.
