PS 106x May 2021 UPDATES!
Emergency Broadband Benefit Program to Families
The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) has launched a short-term Emergency Broadband Benefit (EBB) program, which will provide reduced cost broadband internet service for eligible New York City households during the COVID-19 pandemic.
All families with a student enrolled in a DOE school or program are eligible for this benefit, and funds will be allocated on a first-come, first-serve basis until the program has exhausted available funds or six months after the US Department of Health and Human services declares an end to the COVID-19 health emergency.
Families can find out if they are eligible, apply for the program, and find participating broadband providers via the USAC website.
There are two types of benefits available to eligible households:
-Monthly Benefit: a discount of up to $50/month for broadband service, equipment,
and device rentals; or
-One-time Device Discount: up to $100 for a laptop, tablet, or desktop computer
(with a co-payment of $10 - $50), where available.
Families can visit the FCC’s EBB webpage and view this FAQ to learn more about the EBB program.
Translated materials are available via the following links: Spanish, Arabic, Amharic, Burmese, Chinese, French, Haitian Creole, Korean, Portuguese, Russian, Somali, Tagalog, and Vietnamese.
If families have questions or require support with an application, they can email EBBHelp@usac.org or call (833) 511-0311.

NYC DOE FAMILY UPDATE: May 3rd, 2021
Please click on the link below to read and view the family update:
Family Update Letter
-Revised NYCDOE School Closure Protocols-
The updated Situation Room’s school quarantine and closure protocols,
which will be reflected in the COVID-19 School Health Policy,
and will go into effect Monday, April 12.
These updates, and all the protocols we have been following, were developed in close collaboration with the New York City Department of Health and Mental Hygiene (DOHMH) and are based on the best research available about how to keep our schools and communities safe.
1. There is no change to classroom closures. If there is at least one confirmed positive case in a class, regardless of the source of infection, impacted students will quarantine for 10 calendar days and transition to remote learning during this time.
2. If there are 2 or more positive cases in different classrooms within a school over
a 7-day period, in addition to closing the impacted classrooms, COVID-19 surveillance testing will double from 20% to 40% of students and staff in the school on the next regularly scheduled weekly random testing day.
As a reminder, testing only applies to students in grades 1 through 12.
3. If there are 4 or more confirmed cases in different classrooms within a school over a 7-day period that can be traced to a known exposure within the school,
the entire school will close for 10 calendar days and transition to remote learning.
4. Additionally, schools will no longer close for 24 hours
while investigations take place.
