Tool Search: Digital Equity
The Digital Equity tool allows schools to track digital devices and internet availability for students. More than one record can be added, but records cannot overlap.
New fields and values have been added to the Digital Equity tool for the 2021-22 school year. Previous Digital Equity records need to be end dated and new ones created in order to report data correctly. Digital Equity records can be end dated in Program Admin > Federal/State Program Updater > Edit Participation.
See the core Digital Equity article for information on necessary tool rights, available Ad hoc fields, and guidance on adding and printing Digital Equity records.
