Collaboration as a Path to Digital Equity

Panelists will discuss how Charlotte NC, the Charlotte Mecklenburg schools, business, community, and the non-profit E2D (Eliminate the Digital Divide) partnered to address the “homework gap” for the city’s children. They will discuss how the project came into being, the ways the community was mobilized, and how the schools collaborated to focus on shared digital equity solutions. Participants will be provided with concrete action steps to help them forge similar results in their communities.
