This is the link needed to request broadband access.
Dear Fellow Georgians:
With your help, the Georgia Broadband Opportunity Act (HB 244) passed in July and was signed into law by Gov. Kemp in August. That bill could not have been passed without your help.
HB 244 gave the Georgia Public Service Commission (PSC) the responsibility to set the rates that broadband service providers are charged to attach to electric membership cooperative utility poles.

Broadband service providers attach to utility poles in order to bring broadband access to rural Georgians. Currently, the EMCs are charging nearly triple what companies like Georgia Power and AT&T are charging to attach to their poles. These excessive attachment costs are a barrier for broadband providers to be able to invest in rural communities that so desperately need broadband access.
This week, the Georgia Public Service Commission will begin to decide those rates which will determine the speed and reality at which broadband is expanded into Georgia’s rural communities!
We NEED YOU to tell the Georgia Public Service Commissioners how badly you need reliable broadband access and to vote for reasonable, cost-based rates to attach to EMC owned poles.

Thank you for your help, we’ll be in touch soon with more updates.

Parent/Teacher Conferences are this week, September 21 - 24th.
Heard County School System will be closed for children on Thursday, September 17th. School will be closed due to an overabundance of caution after watching the 11:30 a.m. National Weather Service briefing. We have large concerns for the amount of rain forecasted for our area. Dirt roads and gravel roads will likely be washed out and make travel impossible in some areas.
