The Affordable Connectivity Program (ACP) is a Federal Communications Commission (FCC) program that replaces the Emergency Broadband Benefit Program (EBB Program) to help low-income households pay for internet service and connected devices.

If your household is eligible, you can receive:

  • Up to a $30/month discount on your internet service
  • Up to a $75/month discount if your household is on qualifying Tribal lands
  • A one-time discount of up to $100 for a laptop, tablet, or desktop computer (with a co-payment of more than $10 but less than $50)
The Jersey City Public School District provides all students and staff the foundation on which to build a technologically enhanced, restructured, supportive, learning environment. Our vision is that the most appropriate technologies are infused in the most natural manner into highly effective instructional and administrative programs so that the public school community has equitable access to achieve a richer, more challenging, rewarding, educational experience from routine use of technologies.
 
To this end, we strive to ensure that the transitions to technologically enriched programs are as seamless and transparent as possible.
 

The IT department of the Jersey City Public Schools district has the primary responsibility for the maintenance of the core business components, student information systems and central operation of the computer network that supports the entire school district.  This department works as a backbone to district Information systems and connects to all schools to establish a central database. We bring experience and professionalism to the district business operation and functionalities.

The motto of the IT department is to provide the schools with a reliable state-of-art network, computing resources, and information technology services.
