HELENA – In October, a report released from EducationSuperHighway announced that 100 percent of Montana’s K-12 students now have access to high-speed broadband in accordance with the Federal Communications Commission’s minimum goal. This is up from 78 percent in 2015.
Montana
schools are also making significant progress toward the FCC’s long-term
bandwidth goal of 1 Mbps per student. In Montana, 64 percent of schools
upgraded to scalable infrastructure since 2016. The work to upgrade the
remaining 62 schools continues, as having scalable infrastructure in place
enables schools to keep up with growing bandwidth demand due to increasing
digital innovation in K-12 classrooms.
