    Hello Bridgeport Public School Families,

    This morning, the FCC announced that on May 12, 2021, eligible households will be able to apply for the Emergency Broadband Benefit.

    Beginning on May 12 households can apply in three ways: 

    1. Contact your preferred participating broadband provider directly to learn about their application process.  

    2. Go to GetEmergencyBroadband.org to apply online and to find participating providers near you.  
    1. Call 833-511-0311 for a mail-in application, and return it along with proof of eligibility to:

             Emergency Broadband Support Center
             P.O. Box 7081
             London, KY 40742 

    Earlier this week the FCC hosted a webinar that provided an overview of the benefit, eligibility criteria, how to apply, and the FCC’s partner toolkit materials. The recording can be viewed online. This service is not provided by the Bridgeport Public Schools or the City of Bridgeport. Please do not call any BPS or City of Bridgeport department for information.

    Thank you,


    Michael J. Testani
    Superintendent of Schools
