HANNIBAL, MO, January 10, 2020 — Chariton Valley (CV), hosted a celebration on Friday, January 10, at the Hannibal Board of Education Office to commemorate the completion of the district’s connection to the Chariton Valley fiber network. The new fiber connection provides students and faculty with the high-speed connectivity necessary to accommodate the district’s needs. The affordable technology supports multiple connected devices used simultaneously and further facilitates online educational resources.
“Access to high-speed fiber internet is essential to education. It allows students to fully experience e-learning and provides educators with the technology needed to employ more educational tools,” said Kirby J. Underberg, Chariton Valley’s CEO.
The establishment of the Hannibal School District’s fiber connection follows CV’s aggressive fiber expansion plan announcement, extending the company’s services to the Hannibal community and other areas across northern Missouri.
