“Hotspots for Students Program” Approved By Port St. Lucie City Council
The City of Port St. Lucie's City Council approved a contract with AT&T for the “Hotspots for Students Program.” As thousands of students move to distance learning to start the school year, connectivity has become more complicated.
The Neighborhood Services Department will provide 2,000 Wi-Fi Hotspots with six months of unlimited service to students that don’t have internet access and currently receive free/reduced lunch. Only one Hotspot per household, as the Hotspots provide a secure connection for up to 10 Wi-Fi-enabled devices simultaneously. The Hotspots will also be enabled with Children’s Internet Protection Act (CIPA) software to identify and block violent and inappropriate websites. The City is also looking at ways to invest in a distance learning infrastructure in the future to ensure that all students are connected equally.
