Submitted by paula on Sun, 02/01/2015 - 1:10am
Lake Tahoe Unified School District has been chosen to be one of 12 school districts in the state to be featured in the Larry King hosted show on FOX Business Network. In View.
Superintendent Dr. Tarwater was contacted by the show's Senior Producer about the opportunity to be part of the educational television program. The show will be a special edition, half-hour program focusing on the state of education.
"We wish to feature the best and most relevant positive stories, from the best and brightest out there,” the producer said. He is interested in doing a piece on LTUSD called “The Impact of Public Education on Economic Sustainability”.
After a conference meeting between the show's representatives, Dr. Tarwater, Assistant Superintendent Ivone Larson and LTUSD Board Presidet Barbara Bannar, the School Board voted Tuesday to move ahead with participating with the program.
The move doesn't come without a price tag though. LTUSD must pay $27,900 for pre-production scheduling. For their payment, LTUSD will have control over all of the content for a four to five minute broadcast segment, a 30-second commercial for LTUSD to use for any promotion or outreach, a custom 6-8 minute demo DVD, and ten hours of video footage from the shoot The board felt it would be a good investment as the video would showcase the district and its facilities as well as being a marketing tool.
Tarwater is asking for donations to help defray the costs. So far, Measure G architects LPA, Inc. and contractors SMC Contracting, Inc. have committed to assisting financially.
Filming will start this Spring.
