As part of the the eLearning project, the Daviess County Public Schools requested information from parents about their Internet access.  We found that most families have this service already.  Therefore, the need for a school-provided solution for Internet access is not necessary.  For the few families that still need an Internet provider, we have compiled a list for commonly used vendors in the Owensboro area.
