San Mateo为学生上网课拨款230万美元！
(NBC)San Mateo County announced on Wednesday a partnership with local school districts to provide up to $2.879 million to help K-12 students get online during the COVID-19 pandemic.
圣马特奥县周三宣布与当地学区合作，提供287.9万美元帮助K-12学生在COVID-19疫情期间上网。
The program is geared toward students from rural communities or low-income households who may not have the stable internet access required for virtual learning. Support will come in the form of high-speed internet packages, wireless hotspots - including remote deployment units, which are wireless hotspots on wheels - and expanded public wi-fi.
该项目面向来自农村社区或低收入家庭的学生，他们可能无法获得进行虚拟学习所需的稳定互联网接入。这种支持将以高速互联网套餐、无线热点(包括远程部署单元，即车轮上的无线热点)和扩展的公共wi-fi的形式出现。
The county's Board of Supervisors voted unanimously on Aug. 4 to fund the program with money it has received under the federal Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act.
8月4日，该县的监督委员会一致投票通过通过联邦冠状病毒救助、救济和经济安全法案(CARES)为该项目提供资金。
"This project is critical not just for students but also their families. The pandemic exposed what we already knew - that so many in our community do not have access to the internet. Distance learning highlighted this digital divide, and this pilot is an important step to bridge the gap," board president Warren Slocum said in a statement.
“这个项目不仅对学生很重要，对他们的家庭也很重要。这次疫情暴露了我们已经知道的事情——我们社区中有很多人无法访问互联网。远程教育凸显了这种数字鸿沟，而这项试点是消除这种鸿沟的重要一步。”董事会主席沃伦·斯洛克姆在一份声明中说。
The project will provide essential support as schools across the county reopen with distance learning this month and next.
这个项目将为全县的学校在本月和下月重新开放远程教育提供必要的支持。
Schools in San Mateo County must conduct distance learning until the county has been off the state's COVID-19 watch list for 14 consecutive days, though elementary schools can apply for a waiver.
圣马特奥县(San Mateo County)的学校必须开展远程教育，直到该县连续14天不在该州COVID-19观察名单上为止，不过小学可以申请豁免。
The county is partnering with Ravenswood City, La Honda-Pescadero Unified, Redwood City and Sequoia Union High school districts.
该县正在与Ravenswood City、La Honda-Pescadero Unified、Redwood City和Sequoia Union High school district合作。
A total of 650 qualifying students in Ravenswood City and La Honda-Pescadero Unified school districts will receive subsidized either high-speed internet through Comcast or mobile wi-fi hotspots through T-Mobile. The county will also expand public wi-fi networks to support students in Redwood City and Sequoia Union High school districts.
Ravenswood市和La Honda-Pescadero联合学区的650名合格学生将获得通过Comcast的高速互联网或通过T-Mobile的移动wi-fi热点的补贴。该县还将扩大公共wifi网络，以支持红杉城和红杉联盟高中区的学生。
San Mateo County Superintendent of Schools Nancy Magee said in the county's statement that the pilot "offers an exciting opportunity to support academic success" for students.
圣马特奥县督学南希·马吉在该县的声明中说，试点项目“为学生提供了一个支持学业成功的机会”。
"As a Vietnamese immigrant who values continuous education, closing the digital divide gap is just the start to breaking the economic divide that exists in this country," Kaizen's CEO Dao Jenson said in the statement.
改善公司首席执行官Dao Jenson在声明中说:“作为一个重视继续教育的越南移民，缩小鸿沟只是打破这个国家存在的经济鸿沟的开始。”
A coalition of government bodies, property owners, technology service providers and internet service providers will deliver the pilot initiative.
由政府机构、业主、科技服务提供商和互联网服务提供商组成的联盟将实施这一试点计划。
