Abstract: As the COVID-19 pandemic has shown, digital connectivity is critical to student learning. Gaps in digital access--including reliable access to internet and a digital device--are a driving force in the educational inequities evident during distance learning. In this report, the authors use data on a sample of California households with children enrolled in school to examine changes in digital access and equity from spring 2020 to spring 2021. Key takeaways include: (1) device access rose dramatically early in the pandemic; (2) improvements in internet access were more modest; (3) progress stalled in spring 2021, and major equity gaps remain; (4) local innovations offer models for long-term solutions; (5) better data is needed to identify existing gaps in broadband access and allocate investments; and (6) affordability is a major concern.
