Data in this feature layer and related digital equity maps comes from students' and families' answers to the Internet Access at Home Survey, which school districts use to gather data on home internet and learning device access for students in their districts. While this is an optional data collection, DPI encouraged districts to collect this information and push it to WISEdata to help drive statewide initiatives to improve digital learning equity in Wisconsin. Data is aggregated by district but given in percentages to protect student privacy. View statewide digital equity data on the WISEdash Public Portal. The digital equity questions are the result of a coordinated effort with the Council of Chief State School Officers (CCSSO), Education SuperHighway, and the Ed-Fi Alliance (affiliated with the Dell Foundation). In May 2021, the US Department of Education added these questions as data elements to the Common Educational Data Standard (CEDS). CEDS is the federal government’s framework for all education data, adding significant validation to the questions and items. See the questions DPI provided to districts to use in their surveys here.
