School Division
Representatives for the Regional Schools Contracting and Planning Committee |
The Virginia
Master Plan for Public Telecommunications specifies that each of the five
public television regions will be represented by a Regional Schools Contracting
and Planning Committee, known as the RSCPC.
The RSCPCs are coordinated through the public television stations and
are critical to providing local representation for the selection of
instructional television programming and the allocation of telecommunications services
to schools.
The
membership of each RSCPC is composed of school division superintendents, or
their designees, for each school division within that region. Participation by a school division is based
upon the open-broadcast coverage area.
Recognizing that some school divisions might fall within two or more
coverage areas, a school division may choose to participate in more than one
RSCPC.
The
Superintendent of Public Instruction must request annually that each school
division superintendent identify his or her RSCPC affiliation and the name of
the individual representing the school division.
Contact
information is listed below for the five public television stations in
Virginia. Please forward to the
appropriate director of educational services the name, address, and telephone
number of the person who will be serving as your RSCPC representative for the
2003-2004 school year.
If you have
any questions concerning the RSCPC process you may call Linda Holt at the
Department of Education, (804) 786-5149, or the director of educational
services at the appropriate public television station.
