What happens when schools ask students to begin remote learning, but many do not have access to broadband internet? 

The Kentucky Community and Technical College System is helping to alleviate the problem with Wi-Fi hotspots in their campus parking lots, including at West Kentucky Community and Technical College. 

The hotspots are open to anyone who wants to use them. Officials with KCTCS say there have been times when as many as 1,300 people an hour are using the hotspots.

The hotspots will be available in several of the parking lots at the Paducah location, including the Paducah School of Art and Design, and the Skilled Craft Training Center in Hickory.

WKCTC faculty and staff are also contacting students by phone, email, and video to help with instructional needs and to check on their well-being.
