Hello Raiders,
The link below is a fairly quick broadband survey we've been asked to fill out. Although it's labeled as a Tazewell County survey, they'd like the responses from all parents in our district. Please take a moment to fill this out.
PLEASE FILL OUT THIS SURVEY (http://connecttazewell.com).
With countless people across Illinois working and learning from home, internet access is more important than ever. We need your help to build better broadband infrastructure in our area.
Thank you,
Dr. Todd Hellrigel
