2020-21 GenNET ITV Course Info
The "One-Stop-Shop" for 2020-21 GenNET Details!
2020-21 GenNET ITV Course Planning now underway!
- When reviewing the schedule, high school sites listed with each course are based on course requests made earlier in November.
- It is not necessary to report how many seats a district would like to hold for specific courses right now.
- If a district would like to be removed from a course, or added to another that shows an open site indicated on the schedule as "TBD," now is the time to do that.
- In early February, districts will be asked to request a preliminary number of seats for courses they plan to participate in during the 2020-21 school year.
- Final commitment numbers will not be requested until June 12, 2020.
- If a district would like to add more seats to their initial requests, that is possible throughout the summer, as well as before the anticipated start of school on August 31, 2020.

GenNET ITV instructors Needed for requested courses
GenNET courses are always worthwhile to "receive" to offer students unique opportunities to experience courses not available at their local high schools. Below are courses currently scheduled that need teachers. If a district would like to include a teacher at their site to teach a GenNET course, the list below is based on district requests. If there is a course not in the schedule, additional courses with local district instructors can be added. Courses currently without instructors include:
- French 1
- Probability and Statistics
- World Mythology
- Intro to Law
- Business Law
- Sports Medicine

Blended Learning Sending Site Options for GenNET Districts
A sending site district is able to include up to ten (10) students in its ITV classroom and send to up to three (3) additional sites with 6-8 students at each site. Sending sites provide textbooks and materials for students at receiving sites just like they would for students in a traditional classroom.
This blended learning option is a win-win for local districts sending courses. Tuition is charged for the daily live interaction with teachers based on rates set since the beginning of the GenNET ITV Program. The fee structure and "what's included" are:
- $450 per student from the receiving sites, per semester.
- $475 for students at receiving sites outside of GenNET.
- No tuition charge for students at sending sites.
- Technical and instructional support provided by the Genesee ISD.
- Site to site courier service available at the beginning, middle and end of the school year
All students are enrolled in a learning management system (LMS). Having this to accompany each course allows students to stay on track, even when away from the classroom.
For more information about becoming a sending site, contact Technology and Media Services at the Genesee ISD at 591-4962, or email mjenning@geneseeisd.org
