Board of Education Recognizes
Forsyth CableNet as Friend of Education
|
|
The Monroe County Board of Education recognized our partner, Forsyth CableNet, at Tuesday evening's meeting. Since the sale of the City of Forsyth's cable network to Public Service Communications, Monroe County Schools has partnered with Mr. Jim Bond and his team to provide wide area network services to our schools. A few years later, we reached out to Forsyth CableNet in hopes of securing a second internet pipe for Monroe County Schools to accommodate online needs during testing.
The Forsyth CableNet team was gracious enough to provide that second pipe, and they even offered to boost our internet bandwidth during testing. This past fall, Forsyth CableNet came forward with an even more generous opportunity for the Monroe County community. They outfitted Dan Pitts Stadium with state-of-the-art dense outdoor public wifi complete with filtering. This generous gift is unprecedented in high school stadiums across Georgia, and we are grateful for this investment in our students, staff, parents, and community. Throughout each home football game, fans have been able to enjoy highest quality outdoor wifi, a feat to install and upkeep, with reliability to make the football experience even better as the fans have cheered on the MP Bulldogs all the way to advance to the state playoffs with a winning record.
Thank you, Mr. Jim Bond, Mr. Brandon Kelley, and the entire team of Forsyth CableNet, Public Service Communication for being a Friend of Education in Monroe County.
