New Report Shows Charter Schools and their Students are Most Impacted by Digital Divide, Urges Lawmakers to Act

WASHINGTON, June 8, 2020 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — Today, the National Alliance for Public Charter Schools released a new policy brief, «Charter School and Student Access to Devices and the…

WASHINGTON, June 8, 2020 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — Today, the National Alliance for Public Charter Schools released a new policy brief, «Charter School and Student Access to Devices and the Internet,» an analysis of schools and communities facing the greatest barriers in accessing remote learning opportunities. The report also calls for $243 million in annual resources necessary to bridge the gap in digital access. When schools closed due to the coronavirus pandemic, nearly every K-12 student in America was thrust immediately into distance learning, positioning many low-income families without access to devices and high-speed internet connections at a disadvantage. Without relief aid from Congress, the digital divide has strong potential to exacerbate achievement and attainment gaps based on income and race.  

Key Findings from the Briefing Include: 

  • Approximately 9 million students in the U.S. lack access to the internet or devices.
  • More than 1 in 5 charter school students and roughly 1 in 8 district school students are in a school located in a low‑access connectivity tract, suggesting that charter school students are 60% more likely to be in a school located in a low‑access census tract.
  • The estimated cost to close the digital divide gap in charter schools is $243 million.
  • In 31 of the 44 states with charter schools, 20% or more of charter school students lack connectivity.
  • The top 50 cities for low connectivity account for more than 50% of all the charter school students facing connectivity challenges.

«The spring semester came and went for millions of U.S. students without access to the internet or a digital device. We cannot afford for our most vulnerable students to remain ill equipped this fall. Failing to close the digital divide will relegate low-income families to a modern dark age, left without the digital resources available to the more affluent,» said Nina Rees, president and CEO of the National Alliance for Public Charter Schools. «Substantially more help for K-12 students must be a part of the next phase of federal relief from Congress. Students and families are counting on policymakers to shrink the digital divide before students suffer the consequences of another lost school year.» 

Using the most recent American Community Survey data, the National Alliance estimates charter schools need $243 million to address unmet device and connectivity needs. Given that a higher percentage of charter school students experience low access to connectivity, and that incidence is magnified in specific states and cities, lawmakers must appropriate funds accordingly to bridge the gap. Federal, state and local governments as well as philanthropists will also need to target funds to the schools and students with the greatest needs, especially charter schools, which are disproportionately located in low-access census tracts.

New Report Shows Charter Schools and their Students are Most Impacted by Digital Divide, Urges Lawmakers to Act

WASHINGTON, June 8, 2020 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — Today, the National Alliance for Public Charter Schools released a new policy brief, «Charter School and Student Access to Devices and the Internet,» an analysis of schools and communities facing the greatest barriers in accessing remote learning opportunities. The report also calls for $243 million in annual resources necessary to bridge the gap in digital access. When schools closed due to the coronavirus pandemic, nearly every K-12 student in America was thrust immediately into distance learning, positioning many low-income families without access to devices and high-speed internet connections at a disadvantage. Without relief aid from Congress, the digital divide has strong potential to exacerbate achievement and attainment gaps based on income and race.  

Key Findings from the Briefing Include: 

  • Approximately 9 million students in the U.S. lack access to the internet or devices.
  • More than 1 in 5 charter school students and roughly 1 in 8 district school students are in a school located in a low‑access connectivity tract, suggesting that charter school students are 60% more likely to be in a school located in a low‑access census tract.
  • The estimated cost to close the digital divide gap in charter schools is $243 million.
  • In 31 of the 44 states with charter schools, 20% or more of charter school students lack connectivity.
  • The top 50 cities for low connectivity account for more than 50% of all the charter school students facing connectivity challenges.

«The spring semester came and went for millions of U.S. students without access to the internet or a digital device. We cannot afford for our most vulnerable students to remain ill equipped this fall. Failing to close the digital divide will relegate low-income families to a modern dark age, left without the digital resources available to the more affluent,» said Nina Rees, president and CEO of the National Alliance for Public Charter Schools. «Substantially more help for K-12 students must be a part of the next phase of federal relief from Congress. Students and families are counting on policymakers to shrink the digital divide before students suffer the consequences of another lost school year.» 

Using the most recent American Community Survey data, the National Alliance estimates charter schools need $243 million to address unmet device and connectivity needs. Given that a higher percentage of charter school students experience low access to connectivity, and that incidence is magnified in specific states and cities, lawmakers must appropriate funds accordingly to bridge the gap. Federal, state and local governments as well as philanthropists will also need to target funds to the schools and students with the greatest needs, especially charter schools, which are disproportionately located in low-access census tracts.

PITTSBURGH, June 8, 2020 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — Today, on World Oceans Day, Blue Harbor Fish Co.® is celebrating the important role that sustainable seafood plays in ensuring a healthy ocean and planet.  Blue Harbor Fish Co.®, which has been a Marine Stewardship Council (MSC) certified sustainable seafood since 2016, provides American consumers with sustainable, wild caught albacore tuna and pink salmon packed with simple ingredients.

On this day, 140 countries come together to celebrate the role of the ocean in our everyday life, and to inspire action to protect and sustainably use marine resources.  

«The choices we make have a ripple effect – like choosing sustainable seafood for a healthy ocean,» said Brian Perkins, Regional Director of the Americas for the Marine Stewardship Council. «We’re proud of Blue Harbor Fish Co.® for its ongoing dedication to providing American consumers with MSC certified sustainable seafood so they know they’re getting seafood that’s good for them and good for the ocean.»

The MSC, a global nonprofit recognized as the world’s leading certification and ecolabeling program for sustainable, wild-caught seafood, launched a new global campaign titled, ‘Little Blue Label, Big Blue Future’ to celebrate World Oceans Day and to encourage more consumers to switch to seafood certified to its rigorous ‘blue fish’ standard. 

As a member of the MSC initiative, Blue Harbor Fish Co.® meets strict guidelines in which all of its products are traceable back to an MSC certified sustainable source.  All the parties in the Blue Harbor Fish Co.® supply chain, from the catch to the retailer, meet standards set by MSC to make sure Blue Harbor Fish Co.® contains only sustainable seafood.  This prevents possible seafood mislabeling or fraud and ensures that consumers are getting the product that is listed on packaging.

Oceans contain up to 80 percent of life on earth1, with seafood providing an important source of protein to more than 3 billion people across the world2. MSC certified seafood represents roughly 15% of global marine catch, demonstrating that certification is helping to grow and maintain the number of sustainable fish populations. In the US, more than 2,500 seafood products worldwide carry the MSC blue fish label.

The MSC standard was established in 1997 and is the only wild caught seafood standard and ecolabeling program to meet United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization (UNFAO) guidelines, as well as meet Global Sustainable Seafood Initiative (GSSI) benchmarking criteria. The standards used to evaluate fisheries have been developed in deliberation with scientists, industry, and conservation groups, and reflect the most up-to-date fisheries science and management practices.

Un nuevo informe muestra que la brecha digital afecta mayormente a las escuelas charter y a sus estudiantes; exhorta a los legisladores a tomar medidas

WASHINGTON, 8 de junio de 2020 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — Hoy, la National Alliance for Public Charter Schools (Alianza Nacional para Escuelas Charter Públicas), publicó un nuevo informe de política pública titulado «<a target="_blank"…

WASHINGTON, 8 de junio de 2020 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — Hoy, la National Alliance for Public Charter Schools (Alianza Nacional para Escuelas Charter Públicas), publicó un nuevo informe de política pública titulado «Charter School and Student Access to Devices and the Internet» (La escuela charter y el acceso de los estudiantes a dispositivos digitales y a Internet), un análisis de las escuelas y comunidades que enfrentan los más acérrimos obstáculos para acceder a las oportunidades de aprendizaje a distancia. El informe también hace un llamado para destinar $243 millones de recursos anuales a cerrar la brecha del acceso digital. Cuando las escuelas cerraron debido a la pandemia de coronavirus, prácticamente todos los estudiantes en el sistema K-12 en los Estados Unidos quedó restringido al aprendizaje a distancia en forma inmediata, creando una desventaja para muchas familias de bajos ingresos que carecen de acceso a dispositivos digitales y conexiones a Internet de alta velocidad. A menos que se cuente con ayuda adicional por parte del Congreso, la brecha digital amenaza con exacerbar las brechas en desempeño y logros académico debido a las diferencias raciales y de ingreso.

Entre los hallazgos clave del informe destacan los siguientes: 

  • Aproximadamente 9 millones de estudiantes en los Estados Unidos carecen de acceso a Internet o dispositivos digitales.
  • Más de 1 de cada 5 estudiantes de escuelas charter y alrededor de 1 de cada 8 en escuelas distritales se ubican en escuelas dentro de alguna franja de baja conectividad; esto indica que los estudiantes de las escuelas charter tienen 60% más probabilidades de estar en una institución situada en una franja de bajo acceso según el censo.
  • Se estima que el costo de cerrar la brecha digital en las escuelas charter es de $243 millones.
  • En 31 de los 44 estados con escuelas charter, 20% o más de los estudiantes de estas instituciones carecen de conectividad.
  • Las principales 50 ciudades con baja conectividad incluyen a más de 50% de todos los estudiantes de escuelas charter que enfrentan problemas de conexión.

«El semestre de primavera llegó y se fue para millones de estudiantes estadounidenses que no tienen acceso a Internet o a un dispositivo digital. No podemos permitir que nuestros estudiantes más vulnerables sigan padeciendo la falta de equipos este otoño. Si no logramos cerrar la brecha digital, relegaremos a las familias de bajos ingresos a una especie de oscurantismo moderno al no contar con los equipos digitales de los que gozan las familias mejor posicionadas económicamente. En particular, una ayuda más sustancial para los estudiantes del sistema K-12 debe formar parte de la siguiente fase de recursos federales destinados por el Congreso. Los estudiantes y las familias cuentan con la voluntad política de reducir la brecha digital antes de que los estudiantes sufran las consecuencia de otro año escolar perdido», dijo Nina Rees, presidenta y CEO de la National Alliance for Public Charter Schools.

Con base en los datos más recientes de la Encuesta Nacional Comunitaria, la National Alliance calcula que las escuelas charter necesitan $243 millones para atender las necesidades aún insatisfechas de conectividad y dispositivos digitales. Ante el mayor porcentaje de estudiantes de escuelas charter con menor acceso a la conectividad y la magnificación de esa incidencia en determinados estados y ciudades, los legisladores deben destinar fondos a fin de cerrar la brecha. Los gobiernos a nivel federal, estatal y local, así como los filántropos, también deben destinar fondos a las escuelas y los estudiantes con las mayores necesidades, en especial las escuelas charter, situadas de manera desproporcionada en franjas de bajo acceso según el censo.
