Hayward Unified School District (HUSD) recently received a $75,000 grant from Fremont Bank Foundation that HUSD is using to purchase essential Chromebooks for the district’s growing student population experiencing housing instability.
HUSD students are now able to continue their learning participation regardless of their home situation since Fremont Bank Foundation’s grant guarantees HUSD has replacement Chromebooks for devices that were previously damaged or lost.
“Fremont Bank Foundation has been a close partner of HUSD for years, and I’m excited to have them support us in helping some of our vulnerable students,’’ said HUSD superintendent Chien Wu-Fernandez. “With this donation, we can help ensure that all of our students have the access to the resources they need to be successful.”
“Making sure every learner has access to technology has become a basic necessity,” said Julie Moore, director of corporate philanthropy at Fremont Bank. “Digital inclusion is a gateway to greater educational opportunities for all youth, including those within HUSD.”
