FINALLY, WE INITIAITED DIRECT SUPPORT TO SCHOOL DISTRICTS TO SUPPORT THEM IN CONNECTING THEIR SCHOOLS TO FIBER OPTIC INFRASTRUCTURE, PROCURING MORE BANDWIDTH FOR THEIR BUDGET, AND ENSURING THAT THEY HAVE FUNCTIONING LAN / WI-FI NETWORKS IN THEIR SCHOOLS. THE PERCENTAGE OF DISTRICTS MEETING THE FCC'S 100 KBPS / STUDENT INTERNET ACCESS GOAL INCREASED FROM 30% IN 2013 TO 77% IN 2015. AS A RESULT, OVER 20 MILLION MORE STUDENTS AND 1.4 MILLION MORE TEACHERS NOW HAVE ACCESS TO SUFFICIENT INTERNET ACCESS TO USE TECHNOLOGY IN THE CLASSROOM. 88% OF SCHOOLS REQUIRING A FIBER OPTIC CONNECTION WERE CONNECTED BY FIBER IN 2015 - A SIGNIFICANT INCREASE FROM THE FCC'S ESTIMATE OF 65% IN 2014. $2.2 BILLION HAD BEEN INVESTED IN LAN / WI-FI NETWORKS DURING THE 2014-15 SCHOOL YEAR - REPRESENTING 32% OF THE TOTAL INVESTMENT ANTICIPATED OVER THE FIVE YEAR PERIOD FROM 2014-2019. THE COST OF INTERNET ACCESS FOR K-12 SCHOOLS HAD BEEN REDUCED BY 50% FROM $22 / MBPS TO $11 / MBPS. 5185806 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 23 0 60 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 X 3 2 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 0 CA X X THE ORGANIZATION 4159677430 101 CALIFORNIA STREET 4100 SAN FRANCISCO CA 94111 EVAN MARWELL CEO 40.00 X X 0 0 0 JONATHAN KAPLAN SECRETARY 4.00 X X 0 0 0 JIM BILDNER BOARD MEMBER 4.00 X 0 0 0 JUNE MARCEL CHIEF OF STAFF/COO 40.00 X 160000 0 0 ADAM ANDERSON CHIEF OF STAFF 40.00 X 35504 0 681 ANTHONY SWEI CO FOUNDER 40.00 X 129309 0 5625 ELEANOR HURLEY DIR.
