When U.S. Education Secretary Arne Duncan said this month that all schools should convert to digital textbooks, some less affluent school districts cried foul. Between 35 percent and 40 percent of the population lacks access to broadband services, according to a recent study by the National Telecommunications and Information Administration. The study’s findings account for people who choose not to receive broadband service and those who cannot afford it. Some Middletown area schools districts are working to find ways to incorporate electronic tablets and digital textbooks into classes in a cost effective way, including creating Bring Your Own Device policies.
