During a global pandemic, schools had close for safety of students and teachers. The school system adopted an online learning model. With 33% of Jackson county living in poverty and the rate for school children being higher, the Extension service saw a need to provide internet to students in the community. The Jackson County Extension Agents worked with UK IT support and the local Internet provider to set up the Jackson County Extension Service Extension Conference Center Parking lot as a free Wi-Fi area for students from 8a.m. to 8p.m. This service provided students who did not have access to internet the ability to have high speed internet to use for their school work on their school provided laptop. It is estimated that sixty five different students used this service for one or more days during the time of school closing. Some students used for more than ten days, nearing daily usage.
