McKenzie School District Needs Your Feedback on Internet Access

ByTom Atkinson October 15, 2021October 25, 2021

McKenzie School District recently won a Project OVERCOME grant that aims to rebuild and improve internet services in the region. As part of the grant, researchers are looking to understand the positive benefits that better Internet services can have.

McKenzie residents are being asked to take a short online survey to help McKenzie School District understand your interest in internet access and the access currently available to you and your household. There is no right answer for any of these questions, and if there are any questions that you prefer not to answer you can leave them blank.

The survey is available at https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/JFR77PS.

You can also read an article about the grant from the Benton Institute for Broadband & Society here.

Thank you for taking a few minutes to complete this short survey and supporting community rebuilding!
