This new rule will help millions of students connect to the internet at home and close the #homeworkgap.
This is yet another example of the Biden administration doing everything they can to help all students, no matter where they live, succeed.
Next month, we’ll hold a vote on a proposal to help students, or anyone who can’t afford internet at home, check out a Wi-Fi hotspot from their local library - which will help us close the Homework Gap.
