BONUS BRIEF: SURVEY EXTENSION
MONTEREY COUNTY — California Department of Technology has extended the California Digital Equity Survey to July 15, so there is still time for Monterey County residents to take the survey if they have not yet done so. Feedback from the survey will help form a state plan to fund programs as well as gauge local needs to bridge the digital divide. The state especially wants to hear from those who struggle accessing the internet due to economics, disabilities, rural locations or language barriers. The online survey can be found at bit.ly/CADigitalEquitySurvey.
