Union City Area School District is one of the recent recipients of a Pennsylvania Broadband Development Authority (PBDA) grant through the ARPA Capital Projects Fund Digital Connectivity Technology program.
This grant will not only allow us to deploy some laptops into the community through our ConnectUC Laptop Borrowing Program beginning this summer, but we'll also be able to host open lab sessions for community members, digital literacy events and training sessions, and more! Through our partnership with SkillUpPA, UCASD residents can take advantage of free occupational skills training, as well.
