An invitation to join panel to discuss future of educational television.
In 1956, the Fulton County School System was selected by the state board of education of Georgia to be the first district to receive a grant to pilot a program that integrated closed-circuit television into classroom instruction. Funding in the amount of $35,000 was granted to “alleviate the teacher shortage, not by cutting down on the number of teachers, but by making the specialized teaching skills of certain teachers available for all the students. In this way, it will enrich and extend the educational program and every child will share in the total teacher potential.” -Mary Grubbs, Consultant in Audio-Visual Education for the State Department of Education. FCBOE Board Minutes, Nov. 6, 1956, 56-990.
