Utilities for Eagle Scout PC Drive (Ryan Kelley)

"More than 50 percent of families in RSU 34 — which encompasses Old Town, Alton and Bradley — have said they face some challenges in securing reliable devices for remote learning, and 17 percent have inadequate internet access at home, according to a community survey the district conducted this summer.

The shift to remote learning proved to be a swift but not uncomplicated transition for many schools across the nation at the start of the pandemic. Families and students have struggled to make the adjustments — some without reliable internet access or devices suitable for remote-learning.

The donation drive will take place between 9 a.m. and 2 p.m. Monday, Sept. 7, at the Old Town High School, though people can drop off used devices at any RSU 34 school before then. " (Bangor Daily News)

This GoFundMe was created with the intent of providing tools to the volunteers during the event in order to collect and process as many online learning machines for the RSU34 school district as possible.
