N.J.’s digital divide cut by more than half

New Jersey Gov. Phil Murphy said Dec. 21 that the state’s digital divide stands at 14,349, down 54 percent from the prior week — the biggest one-week drop since the N.J. Department of Education started collecting such data this school year.

School districts continued to cite delivery delays as the reason behind their unfulfilled needs, “but we are hopeful that these will be filled quickly and this gap will be closed,” Murphy said.
