About Cabling Installation & Maintenance:

Bringing practical business and technical intelligence to today's structured cabling professionals.

For more than 30 years, Cabling Installation & Maintenance has provided useful, practical information to professionals responsible for the specification, design, installation and management of structured cabling systems serving enterprise, data center and other environments. These professionals are challenged to stay informed of constantly evolving standards, system-design and installation approaches, product and system capabilities, technologies, as well as applications that rely on high-performance structured cabling systems. Our editors synthesize these complex issues into multiple information products. This portfolio of information products provides concrete detail that improves the efficiency of day-to-day operations, and equips cabling professionals with the perspective that enables strategic planning for networks’ optimum long-term performance.

Throughout our annual magazine, weekly email newsletters and 24/7/365 website, Cabling Installation & Maintenance digs into the essential topics our audience focuses on:

  • Design, Installation and Testing: We explain the bottom-up design of cabling systems, from case histories of actual projects to solutions for specific problems or aspects of the design process. We also look at specific installations using a case-history approach to highlight challenging problems, solutions and unique features. Additionally, we examine evolving test-and-measurement technologies and techniques designed to address the standards-governed and practical-use performance requirements of cabling systems.
  • Technology: We evaluate product innovations and technology trends as they impact a particular product class through interviews with manufacturers, installers and users, as well as contributed articles from subject-matter experts.
  • Data Center: Cabling Installation & Maintenance takes an in-depth look at design and installation workmanship issues as well as the unique technology being deployed specifically for data centers.
  • Physical Security: Focusing on the areas in which security and IT—and the infrastructure for both—interlock and overlap, we pay specific attention to Internet Protocol’s influence over the development of security applications.
  • Standards: Tracking the activities of North American and international standards-making organizations, we provide updates on specifications that are in-progress, looking forward to how they will affect cabling-system design and installation. We also produce articles explaining the practical aspects of designing and installing cabling systems in accordance with the specifications of established standards.

The Kemper Foundation Expands Read Conmigo Grant Program to Support School-Wide Dual-Language Education Initiatives

The Kemper Foundation announced today the expansion of its Read Conmigo Grant Program to include school-wide grants for Title I elementary schools. Building on the success of its educator-focused grants, the new Read Conmigo School Impact Grants aim to further empower schools to advance dual-language education for bilingual students in under-resourced communities. The Foundation will provide up to 22 grants of $10,000 each to schools across Greater Los Angeles, Dallas and McAllen, TX, and Miami, supporting dual-language programs for Hispanic and Latino students.

The Read Conmigo School Impact Grants will fund a range of bilingual school-wide initiatives, including library enhancements, educational technology, instructional support, and community engagement initiatives. The new grants provide flexibility to enable schools to innovate and adapt solutions tailored to their unique needs and challenges, ultimately promoting long-term educational success.

“We’re excited to expand the Read Conmigo program to support schools in their mission to promote dual-language education,” said Joseph P. Lacher, Jr., Chairman of The Kemper Foundation Board of Trustees and President and CEO of Kemper Corporation. “Read Conmigo’s educator grants have demonstrated the transformative power that quality dual-language education can have on bilingual students’ academic success. By broadening our program to support schools, we hope to amplify this impact and create lasting benefits for students, educators, families and communities."

Key Features of the Read Conmigo School Impact Grants:

  • Grant Amount: Up to $10,000 per school
  • Eligible Schools: Title I public and charter elementary schools in the Greater Los Angeles, Dallas and McAllen, TX, and Miami areas
  • Use of Funds: School-wide dual-language program initiatives, including school-wide resources, technology improvements, professional development for educators, and cultural/community engagement activities
  • Application Process: Through The Kemper Foundation’s grants portal from January 8 to March 9, 2025

The School Impact Grants will build on the success of the Read Conmigo Educator Grants, which have contributed to measurable improvements in student outcomes, including reading comprehension, writing, spelling, vocabulary, phonics, speaking and technology skills. By expanding to entire schools, the Foundation aims to strengthen the connections within the wider school community and build a lasting legacy of supporting quality, holistic dual-language education.

The Kemper Foundation is one of the few private foundations focused on dual-language education, targeting educators and Title I schools to close the opportunity gaps and equip Hispanic and Latino students with essential skills for success in a globalized world.
