Earlier this month, Harmony Adult Education appeared in Senator Tou Xiong's newsletter advocating for adult education. In the newsletter, Senator Xiong stated that he "presented a bill to provide funding for adult basic education programs, especially in rural areas where access can be limited". Our very own Scott Helland, Adult Basic Education (ABE) Coordinator, testified at the legislature.

This Thursday, March 23, is "ABE Day on the Hill." Two of our Harmony students will speak at the rotunda in the State Capitol to a crowd of 100-200 ABE students from around the state.

The Affordable Connectivity Program (ACP) provides eligible households a discount of up to $30 per month off their internet bills (or up to $75 per month for households living on Tribal lands), as well as a one-time discount of up to $100 off an eligible connected device like a laptop, desktop computer or tablet. In many cases, households can get high-speed internet without paying a dime by choosing a fully covered internet plan.

A household is eligible to participate in the ACP if a child in the household receives free or reduced-price school meals. Therefore, under the ACP rules, every household with a child attending a school participating in the Community Eligibility Provision (CEP) of the National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program is eligible for ACP benefits.

Households can learn more and apply for the ACP at GetInternet.gov​.
