The Development Authority of the North Country has partnered with Jefferson County to conduct a survey of county residents in regard to their broadband internet access and affordability. The purpose of this survey is to collect data to determine unserved areas of the county and help people to get better internet. Although many people in Jefferson County may already have access to good internet service, some areas are severely lacking in that regard, and this need has only been magnified by the current pandemic.

The New York State Education Department (NYSED) has developed a Parent Dashboard to increase transparency and make information about school performance and other school-level data easier for parents and the public to access. The Parent Dashboard is part of New York’s Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA) plan, which emphasizes equity in education for all students and expands measures of school accountability and student success. This new dashboard will provide parents with information about their child’s school. The Parent Dashboard is now available in addition to the New York State School Report Card on NYSED’s public data site. The Parent Dashboard offers information on all public schools including charter schools.
