Programming

Programming on Cable 13 covers four major areas. 

1. All school board committees and subcommittees are shown live over the access channel.  These meetings are then cablecast numerous times as the schedule permits during the following seven days after the live broadcast.
2. Original programming including student activities and events, classroom activities, and community informational programs are broadcast throughout the school year.
3. A wide range of satellite downlinks (NASA, RIF, US Department of Education) and educational enrichment programs along with electronic field trips are broadcast during the year.
4. When the above programs are not being broadcast there is a district message board  including key announcements of school calendars, dates and events, cable 13 schedule, lunch & breakfast menus, student and staff accomplishments, emergency announcements and much more.
