A weekly schedule of approximately 60 hours of original programming supplements the channel's offering. Each of the district's schools produces a bi-monthly program highlighting students, parents, activities and information relative to their school. Other theme programs are produced on a regular basis. These programs cover various topics which are presented by district administrators, supervisors, and directors, the superintendent and Board of Education members. Such programs relay information from Central Administration and are designed to create stronger links between the schools, parents, students and the community. |
