The Petersburg School District is working to build consumer awareness about the Emergency Broadband Benefit, a new Federal Communications Commission program. The temporary benefit will help to lower the cost of broadband service for eligible households during the on-going COVID-19 pandemic. The program provides a discount of up to a $50 per month toward broadband service for eligible households and up to a $100 per household discount toward a one-time purchase of a computer, laptop, or tablet if the household contributes more than $10 and less than $50 toward the purchase through a participating broadband provider. There are income eligibility requirements for the program, but families could be eligible if they experienced a substantial loss of income through job loss or furlough since February 2020. Emergency Broadband Benefit enrollment will open on May 12th. Eligible households can enroll through a participating broadband provider or directly with the Universal Service Administrative Company (USAC) using an online or mail-in application. https://www.getemergencybroadband.org/
