The Children's Partnership and the California Emerging Technology Fund are leading a statewide, public-private initiative to ensure California's young people are equipped with the skills they need to be competitive in today's digital world. This initiative, called School2Home, will provide a broadband-connected computing device for students attending one of California's 539 underperforming middle schools. School2Home seeks to connect families and schools in a comprehensive learning process.
