The free broadband internet access will be provided starting in the upcoming 2023-2024 school year, according to a news release. 

Approximately 6,400 households with PSJA ISD students in Pharr will benefit from this partnership, and each fixed-line broadband internet subscription will be calibrated to provide fiber internet connectivity of up to 1 Gbps.

As part of the agreement, the city’s TeamPharr.net will serve as an alternative internet service provider throughout the PSJA ISD service area. PSJA ISD will spend $50 per household for the next 10 years to provide the free internet access.
