1:1 DIGITAL PROGRAMS
1:1's primary aim is to guarantee that every student from PreK through 12 in Memphis-Shelby County School (MSCS) has access to a functional individual student device, both during and after school, in order to enhance their engagement and facilitate the integration of technology. This initiative not only ensures that students have the necessary technology and internet connectivity for essential benchmark and state assessments but also strives to bridge the digital divide among MSCS students. To further support MSCS families, the program has also established cost relief initiatives funded by grants, which offer assistance for device replacements when required.
