The Rochester City School District will keep distributing MiFi devices known as hot spots to help students who are struggling to access the internet.

It’s a continuation of the district’s September 2019 distribution. As reported last June, RCSD began hot spot distribution efforts last year by offering free internet access to high school students.

ROC the Future studied the Digital Divide in Rochester in a report published on April 17 of this year. According to census date data, 88% of Rochestarians have some type of computer, smartphone or wireless device and 80% have some type of internet subscription. However, 17% of residents rely solely on a cellular data plan.
