Summary:
|
The District does not have a current R.O.P. radio teaching program for the 2012-13 school year at CVCHS. The District is, however, exploring moving the station and classroom to another District high school for 2013-14. Additionally, the District was recently approached by KQED for a possible purchase of the station. The District will need to have a professional assessment performed to determine the value of the noncommercial license we own. In the interim, staff proposes that CVCHS be allowed to use the classroom S-2 and radio station pursuant to all rules of our FCC non-commercial license for the 2012-13 school year and upon the following caveats:
1. An appropriately credentialed instructor with at least two years of broadcast experience is hired to teach the classes;
2. All students must receive at least six 2-hour sessions of in-studio station operation training and FCC noncommercial station operation training aligned with the ROP- approved curriculum and instruction guidelines;
3. All students must be constantly monitored by the appropriately credentialed instructor at all times while they are on the air and in the broadcast studio;
4. Melissa Foster-Wilson shall remain a consultant to the District to operate the radio station for broadcast programming and FCC requirements.
The District retains full ownership of the station during CVCHS use. In the event that discussions with KQED or another buyer make a sale appear imminent, the District would then give CVCHS 90 days’ notice of the sale. This 90 days’ notice period would allow CVCHS to secure another location and studio facilities to finish the remainder of the 2012-13 school year.
If no sale of the station occurs, the District may decide to move the radio program to another site for the 2013-14 school year.
