MNPS program provides technology, internet access for families

The Nashville Public Education Foundation, Metro Nashville Public Schools and Google Fiber are partnering to bring technology, internet access and education to MNPS families through a program called Tech Goes Home. The program launched at Madison Middle School in early November, and NPEF plans to launch it in up to four additional schools throughout the school year with continued support from Google Fiber. Upon completion of the program, participating families receive a free laptop and home Wi-Fi. NPEF used the district’s equity roadmap to determine the communities that would benefit most from the program and worked with MNPS’ Community Achieves program to recruit families to participate.
