WASHINGTON D.C. – U.S. Senators Maggie Hassan and Jeanne Shaheen, along with Representatives Annie Kuster and Chris Pappas, announced nearly $2.2. million in additional federal funding to help New Hampshire schools provide students with devices and internet connections that they need to complete their school work from home. The Berlin School District is slated to receive $170,000, the fourth largest allocation after the school districts of Exeter, Franklin and Hollis.

This announcement marks the second round of funding from the Federal Communications Commission’s Emergency Connectivity Fund Program, which Senator Hassan and colleagues successfully worked to establish and fund in the American Rescue Plan. The Congressional Delegation previously announced that 12 New Hampshire schools/school districts were awarded $2.4 million through the first round of Emergency Connectivity Fund Program funding.
