Hispanic families living in the boundaries of Dallas ISD are the least likely to have internet service at home, according to a new report.
When the pandemic first struck the country and pushed schools online, some students were left without access to the classroom. Such inequality would often fall along racial, geographical and socioeconomic lines, according to the NEA.
Without high-speed internet, attending virtual classes is “very difficult and certainly suboptimal,” Jones said. But DISD could work toward finding solutions, he added. A large number of parents who are eligible for free lunches, which is an indicator of lower income, aren’t aware of these programs, Jones said. Enrolling for them isn’t exactly simple, so providing assistance in signing up would also be ideal.
