Feature
Internet Assistance Program
The Internet Assistance Program application is now available (see application below). The Pittsfield School District is now allocating funds to support those with new internet installations at their home for remote learning. Using federal relief funds by way of the ESSER grant (better known as the CARES Act), the school district is able to provide reimbursement for monthly internet costs. To apply for reimbursement, you must be a new subscriber between March 2020 and present day. The school district will provide reimbursement of monthly costs for Atlantic Broadband’s internet assistance package for families with one school-age child or for the high speed internet package for families with two or more school-age children. Please send completed applications to Sally Blanchette at sblanchette@pittsfieldnhschools.org.
