[Mail_treas] FW: Spectrum Assist Programs

[Thor Sage]

Good afternoon!
I wanted to share the below information about Spectrum initiatives to address the needs of low-income households.  This information could prove to be very important to students and families in your community.  Please share widely.
Thank you,
Thor
