“Our partnership with schools and families in our service areas and very much aligns with our core value of building a stronger community, especially in times of need,” said Rob Koester, senior vice president of Consumer Product Management with Consolidated. “During these unsettled times, we are proud to help thousands of students retain as much normalcy as possible as their school work transitioned into the home.”

Lamoille North Supervisory Union and School District (LNSU) students living in Belvidere, Vt. faced a unique challenge because the local building’s Internet connection was not intended for use by staff and students and driving to another town to access a school hot spot was not an option. “Due to COVID-19, it has been difficult to get connectivity for all our needs now that 97 percent of the organization is working and learning remotely,” said Deborah Clark, business manager for LNSU. We’ve made a big push to provide adequate connectivity and Consolidated is an integral part of that.”

With help from Consolidated, the district was able to increase its bandwidth and move a majority of it to the Belvidere location to provide a closer hot spot for students to participate in remote learning. “Our partnership with Consolidated has been invaluable and they have been phenomenal to work with,” said Brian Pena, IT systems manager for LNSU.

As a provider of critical services, Consolidated’s customer care, network and field teams are ready to respond. Whether you need increased bandwidth, a second phone line, expanded TV channels, or just have a question, we can help.
