Alef recently announced a partnership with Jackson Public Schools in Mississippi aimed at helping bridge the digital divide for students in the district. Through this collaboration, Alef is providing technology access to students lacking connectivity and devices at home – working toward digital equity in the community.

“Alef’s innovative solution breaks down barriers to online instruction, ensuring every scholar has the opportunity to thrive in a connected learning environment,” said Jackson Public School Superintendent Dr. Errick L Greene.

Reports show many students in Jackson Public Schools currently lack home access to computers and the internet. This leaves many at a disadvantage without the ability to fully utilize online learning tools and resources. Alef’s partnership looks to close this gap.

Jackson Public Schools is also collaborating with the W.K. Kellogg Foundation on this digital divide initiative. The Kellogg Foundation aims to promote equitable education for underserved student groups. This aligns with Alef’s mission of making transformative technology more accessible.

“At Alef, we are passionate about leveraging technology to enhance educational opportunities,” said Mike Mulica, CEO of Alef. “Our collaboration with JPS, backed by the Kellogg Foundation not only addressed immediate connectivity needs but also provided an efficient way for JPS technology staff to remotely configure and monitor devices.”
