  DuPage County Approves Internet Funding for Low-Income Students The DuPage County Board on Tuesday approved $1.5 million to provide low-income students with internet service. Under the agreement approved by the County Board on Tuesday, school districts will find appropriate vendors to provide internet service at no cost to low-income students, and all or some of the costs will be reimbursed by the Regional Office of Education. Many school districts throughout the County have moved to remote learning during the COVID-19 pandemic. “During this pandemic, it’s vital for schools adhere to public health guidelines and allow their students to connect and learn remotely. Internet is no longer a luxury, but a necessity for students,” said County Board member Brian Krajewski.

Using Google to Find a Job

Image
Most of these tips were published by Willy Franzen in a much longer article. You may read the entire piece at: Using Google to Find a Job With a little extra effort in how you conduct your online job search, you can greatly improve the quality of the jobs that you find, while also learning significantly more about the companies offering these jobs. Tip #1:   When you use quotes in Google, you are able to search for an exact phrase. So if you type in: jobs in Illinois , you will find many pages that include both the word jobs and Illinois. (Google basically ignores the word in). However, if you type in “jobs in Illinois”   Google will only return results with that exact phrase somewhere on the page. This can be very useful for finding specific information that you are looking for. Tip #2:   When you’re not sure of what search term to use, Google will help you figure it out. For example, should you search for Illinois jobs   or   Illinois careers   or   Illinois employment ? It doe
