COronavirus Remote Learning Fund

The Mt. Diablo Unified School District is trying to provide equitable access of technology for all of its students with “online instruction” during the coronavirus shelter in place directive. Currently, MDEDF is trying to help the MDUSD fund access to remote learning for some of our most vulnerable students.  

Chrome Books have been distributed to as many students as possible by MDUSD staff, however,  there are not enough for all needy students. Not only does MDUSD have a number of Title 1 schools, but many of the schools that are not classified as Title 1, have homeless and foster youth who are struggling or cannot to keep up with classwork because technology or Internet connection is not accessible to them. In 2019 there were approximately 400-500 of these students enrolled in MDUSD. The district currently serves nearly 30,000 students, many of whom are able to work remotely at home. 

Learning potential of Chrome Books and hotspots 

If the average family has two or more school-aged students, the following impact can be estimated:

• 200 Chrome Books helps 400 students

• 400 Chrome Books helps 800 students

• 200-400 hotspots connects students to online learning

• Note: The cost for each '36 HP Chrome Book 11' is $200-250, while a portable hotspot or Wi-Fi device can be as little as $50-100 depending on the student’s needs and existing cellphone plan.
