The West Virginia Schools for the Deaf and Blind are among the schools and libraries throughout West Virginia that will share $716,477 to help students and residents access the Internet, according to Sen. Jay Rockefeller, who co-authored the E-Rate program that is increasing high-speed access via discounts for telecommunication services.
The Romney-based school for deaf and blind students will receive $14,952.
“I’ve been fighting very hard for over a decade to make sure that all students and communities in West Virginia continue to receive the technology funding they need,” Rockefeller said. “I believe up-to-date technology is critical in linking our students and community members to important resources locally and across the globe.”
