Congresswoman Grace Meng hosted a roundtable discussion with Federal Communications Commissioner (FCC) Chairwoman Jessica Rosenworcel on June 27 to highlight the success of New York City schools and libraries recently receiving federal funding to increase internet access for students, particularly those who lacked internet connection at home, especially during the COVID-19 pandemic.
During the roundtable, which took place at P.S. 154Q in Fresh Meadows, several students in high school and junior high school talked about the importance of having access to the internet for their schoolwork and highlighted the impact and problems that a lack of access has caused.
