California’s Coachella Valley Unified School District (CVUSD), situated along the Salton Sea in one of the poorest sections of the country, has found a unique way to deliver Internet access to its low-income students: their school buses. The district installed routers in two of its buses, allowing students access to the Internet on their school-issued tablets during their morning and afternoon commutes. This just goes to show that cash-strapped schools can augment their students’ education, just by thinking a little outside of the school walls – and the box. But is the model one that generalizes outside of CVUSD? To determine this, we’ll take a close look at the experiment and extrapolate from there.
