Adams announces free Chromebooks for 350,000 NYC students this school year

Mayor Eric Adams announced Monday at the Bronx’s DeWitt Clinton High School that 350,000 students in 1,700 public schools citywide will receive free, internet-enabled Chromebooks throughout 2025-2026 to help address digital inequity among New York City youth. 

The mayor was joined by Schools Chancellor Melissa Aviles-Ramos, Chief Technology Officer Matthew Fraser, Deputy Mayor Randy Mastro and Yankees star Jazz Chisholm Jr. to announce what Adams called a “monumental investment” in students’ present and future success.
