Spectrum has donated 25 new laptop computers to Portland Adult Education and $2,500. to the Foundation for Portland Public Schools to kick off their academic year while addressing coronavirus related needs of the school district.

Spectrum, a key internet service provider in the state, has been working with the Maine Department of Education and others over the last several months to create solutions allowing students across Maine to access remote learning opportunities according to a press release received today.

“We are using the lap tops donated by Spectrum to provide opportunities for our Job Skills students,” said Anita St. Onge, Executive Director at PAE.  These are students who are working to improve their skills to get a job or advance their careers.”
