erivwhe thmedian household inco roughly a third of that in the surrounding areas. for months now he's seen how the pandemic has put a greater spotlight on the so-called digital divide, the disparity between families that have access to technology and wifi and those who don't. paul says most of the students he mentors have been given chromebooks and hot spots from their schools but the digital divide is more than just getting a device. >> there are kids that don't grow one a computer in the home so they're not 100% competent at working on a computer or with all the functions of a computer. they also got to look at if they do login to it, don't pressure them to make sure that the video is on. they might not feel too comfortable showing what they home may look like. >> reporter: these concerns only begin to scratch the surface of the challenges school districts across the bay area face this fall as they work to make sure no student gets left behind. oakland unified 70% of the students qualify for free lunches the district raised $12.5 million through the oakland undivided initiative.

still it's no easy feat. the district estimates about half of their students, roughly 25,000 kids, need some sort of connectivity or device. >> right now we have computers on order, we have hot spots on order, thousands of each. we've got, negotiating for broadband, we're doing everything we can to make sure that all of our families that have these needs at home that qualify get what they need. >> reporter: even then, there's unforeseen challenges, supply and demand. the 25,000 new laptops are on backorder, until then they supplied most with an interim device but still there's a chance some won't have one ready when the new school year starts. >> this is a herculean task but we're in a herculean world right now, right? is it going to be the education they'd get if they were in school every day? no, it's not. there's no way around that, but we are doing everything we can to ensure that the education that they get meets the standards they need that we need to hold for them and that going

forward, once we're out of this, they'll be ready to pick up where they left off. >> reporter: marin city, we talked to high school students who have been given devices. >> our school is wealthy and all of the students are wealthy. >> reporter: stephanie glass who juggles school and a full-time job at target says even with the devices she fears the virtual education will be lacking and won't be able to get additional help like some of her classmates. >> all of the kids can afford to get tutors and when school starts we couldn't afford to pay $100 an hour to get tutors, and most of us our parents don't know what we're learning. >> my parents they aren't born here so they don't know half of the stuff that i'm being taught so it's really hard to ask them for help when they don't know it. >> reporter: throughout the spring, paul stepped up and created free makeshift learning pods that gave students a safe space to do their work and get support. he hopes in the fall the school districts step up and do the same, a solution to the digital divide that isn't actually
