Everyone Connected: Connecticut's Digital Equity Plan

In 2022, Governor Ned Lamont (D-CT) called on the Connecticut Commission for Educational Technology within the Department of Administrative Services (DAS) to lead the State’s efforts around digital equity. In late 2023, the commission released its draft digital equity plan, Connecticut: Everyone Connected, for public comment. Feedback on the plan can be submitted until January 20, 2024. Connecticut’s vision for digital equity is for all residents to flourish across every aspect of life — from learning, working, and civic engagement to general well-being — with the assistance of technology tools and skills. These outcomes will take place through a collaborative ecosystem of resources and services that improve lives through digital access. The shared understanding behind this vision arises out of concerted efforts to reduce barriers to technology.
