The "One-Stop-Shop" for 2020-21 GenNET ITV course details
UPDATED: ADDING ADDITIONAL STUDENT ENROLLMENTS
- Due to the uniqueness of the start of the end of the 2019-20 school year and start of the 2020-21 school year, districts will only be held accountable for actual students participating in GenNET ITV courses this year.
- Later, invoicing will be confirmed and double-checked so districts are only invoiced for the students enrolled and participating in courses at the time of invoicinng
- 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.
- If a district would like to add more seats to their initial requests, that is possible before the start of school on September 8, 2020.
- CLICK on the bar below to add each student who will then be enrolled manually by Genesee ISD staff for students to be included in instructor class lists.

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
