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 made up 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. A school division may choose to participate
in more than one RSCPC if it falls within two or more coverage areas.
The State Superintendent of Public Instruction
requests 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
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.
