ACPS providing internet access in school parking lots

May 8th, 2020 by WCBC Radio

Allegany County Public Schools is providing an Internet connection that is accessible from your vehicle in parking lots at our schools. Starting Friday, May 8, 2020, ACPS will provide external WiFi access in several locations. Please monitor the ACPS Crisis Management website periodically for completed school locations. As a school is ready with WiFi access, it will appear on the website with a map showing exact access points. 

ACPS equipment will connect automatically.To connect to ACPS wireless network "ACPS-ENT" with your personal device enter your staff or student login name and password. Out of district students and community guests may enter the username "hotspot" with the password "acps".

The parking lot WiFi capability enables you to access the Internet easily.  This WiFi is intended for use by ACPS staff, students, and parents for instructional purposes.  All ACPS WiFi traffic is logged and filtered for CIPA compliance.  Additionally, all exterior areas of the school campus are subject to video recording.

The public should remain in their vehicles at all times adhering to social distancing mandates as set forth by Governor Hogan.

    Folks should be very concerned that such a comically daft idea got approved by so many people running our schools.
