Magazine-style Program Showcases People and Programs
Austin, TX—This Thursday, the °¼Í¹ÊÓƵ District is launching INSIDE A°¼Í¹ÊÓƵ, an original television series that highlights the district's people and programs.
The 15-minute monthly series is hosted by three A°¼Í¹ÊÓƵ high school students and is designed to showcase students and staff and promote district events, programs and initiatives.
"I am really excited about INSIDE A°¼Í¹ÊÓƵ because it provides a unique way to explore Austin's school district. " Oscar Palomo, A°¼Í¹ÊÓƵ TV supervisor, said. "This show allows the audience to learn about the activities in A°¼Í¹ÊÓƵ, while giving a voice to the students, staff members and A°¼Í¹ÊÓƵ community."
The first episode of INSIDE A°¼Í¹ÊÓƵ airs at 6:30 p.m. Thursday, Dec. 6 on A°¼Í¹ÊÓƵ TV (Channel 22 for Time Warner Cable and Grande Communications customers and Channel 99 for AT&T U-verse customers). New episodes will air on the first Thursday of every month with re-runs occurring periodically during A°¼Í¹ÊÓƵ TV's 24-hour programming cycle. Episodes also can be viewed on the A°¼Í¹ÊÓƵ TV blog at: .
Elijah Blumofe from McCallum High School, Gabi Hadad from the Liberal Arts and Science Academy and Jessica Rico from the Ann Richards School for Young Women Leaders are three student-hosts of the program. Having students host the show, Blumofe says, makes the topics appear more relevant to viewers.
INSIDE A°¼Í¹ÊÓƵ is an initiative of A°¼Í¹ÊÓƵ TV and is part of the Department of Public Relations and Multicultural Outreach's mission to promote positive news about the school district.
Schools, departments and parent and student groups are invited to submit story ideas via email at goodnews@austinisd.org for consideration.
