Last school year, 23% of Frederick County students were on a free or reduced school lunch plan. This makes their families eligible for a special program from Comcast.

Executive Vice President David Cohen said the Internet Essentials program is entering its second year and offers internet for less than $10 a month, low cost-computers and free digital literacy training for low income families.

"We've made a number of enhancements in the second year. We've expanded eligiblity. Last year, was to just free lunch students; this year is for free and reduced lunch students. We've doubled the speed of the service,"

Any family who has a student enrolled in the free or reduced school lunch plans makes them eligible.

To date, there are more than 100,000 American families enrolled in the program.
