A partnership between WNIN and the Evansville Vanderburgh School Corporation will ensure that students without good broadband access get the lessons they need to finish out the school year.
The COVID-19 shortened school year is forcing EVSC officials to put lessons online in order for students to get the required lessons to complete the school year.
But what if a student doesn’t have access to a good broadband connection? WNIN Public Television is hosting EVSC programming in a four hour block on Channel 9 each week day from 9am-1pm central time.
EVSC spokesperson Jason Woebkenberg says the WNIN broadcasts will include grade-specific lessons recorded by local teachers. They’re lessons that students need to complete the last grading period of the school year.
“The things that would normally be covered during the last nine weeks of the school year are making up the basis of the lessons that are going to be shown on WNIN.”
WNIN is also participating in a statewide effort by public television stations working with the Indiana Department of Education to carry educational programming statewide during the pandemic.
