Superintendent Column September 15, 2023 On behalf of the staff, students, and families of the Ellsworth Community School District, I would like to extend a big thank you to Pierce Pepin Cooperative Services for their emergency support that occurred during the first number of days of the school year. During the first week of school, our district along with some other districts in the state, saw our internet service go down due to a technical glitch with our provider. A call was made to Pierce Pepin representatives who acted quickly to provide us with emergency internet services through their SWIFTCURRENT CONNECT service and we were up and running in a matter of hours. They provided this service to us throughout our week-long outage. Quality internet service is not only essential to our classrooms today. It is also essential to our abilities to communicate with parents and the public along with our business office operations. If we have no internet, we simply cannot operate in many ways. We now have the capability of creating a system that better ensures continued internet service when there is an issue with one provider’s system. The recent addition and continued expansion of SWIFTCURRENT CONNECT to our communities have been a great advancement for many families and businesses. It is another example of how local advances and innovation move us ahead as a community. Thank you again to Pierce Pepin Cooperative Services and SWIFTCURRENT CONNECT for all of the help!
