My Answer
-
To fix the digital divide in our community, I would support educational action that allows technology to be more accessible to others. Some things that are already being done is providing Chromebooks and internet. However, this doesn’t apply to all schools, so I would like to see school districts helping each other and funding the adaptation of technology into schools that do not have that opportunity.
