Rene Sanchez, assistant superintendent for operations in South Bend, said the idea of Wi-Fi school buses was actually a working project before the coronavirus outbreak hit, part of an original plan to allow students with long commute times and athletic events during school hours to utilize transit time.
On Aug. 12, 35 buses were deployed all over the city to provide internet to students Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. The access reaches within 300 feet without obstruction, andSome families bring their own chairs, others drive up and stay in their cars, but many can stay in their homes. The school board has already approved funding to add another 14 buses to its fleet in the near future and, eventually, it hopes all 200 of the district's buses will be equipped with Wi-Fi.
Tre'Vonne Wallace, an eighth grader at Navarre Middle School in South Bend, Ind., sits with a computer outside one of South Bend Community School Corporation's Wi-Fi buses. According to Sanchez, roughly 30% of families in the district do not have broadband internet access at home.
