  * _Overheard quote_: "There is a small surplus in my school's budget that I want to use to improve the quality of education at my school. The future of education is digital and personalized but there are many lower income students whose situation prevents them from participating in such a digital education due to a lack of internet access."

## Narrative

*His Eminence really cares about education. He takes the sentiment "No child left behind" very seriously, especially when the barriers to that childs education are enviromental. Although he does have access to some surplus funds, He would not be able to single handedly solve the internet infrastructure problems facing some of his students. He hopes for a solution that will be easily adoptable by all students in his school*

      * Using a data driven approach to improve perfomance at the school
