States Should be required to reimburse Parents for Internet Data Usage for remote learning
The Issue
Due to so many people having to work from home on top of all their children having to accomidate online at home schooling. Parents are struggling with increased Internet data usage increases being charged by the internet companies.
Many people are not being compensated by their employers for working from home data usage nor any reimbursement from School districts which also are pushing cost onto the parents.
People are being forced to pick up data usage that would ordinarily be paid by employers as well as the school district (which attains its funds from tax payers).
If Schools require remote learned they must also be required to pay each parent a data usage fee of a minimum of $25.00 per student per month as internet bills are now exceeding $200.00 per household.
No Tax increase should be levied upon the Citizens in addition for this payment. Instead Schools should be required to shift funds from facilities not being used.
