Yesterday, the Office of Broadband Access and Expansion (OBAE) announced that the Federal Communications Commission has approved over $500,000 in funding for the Statewide Education Network (SEN). This support, coming from the FCC’s E-rate program, will aid in expanding broadband access to public schools in New Mexico, allowing them to share resources and access educational websites more effectively. Since July 1st, SEN has connected 50 schools in New Mexico and aims to link 840 schools by 2027. This funding is crucial for the network’s long-term sustainability and will help reduce future state funding needs.
