WCM Quarterly October 2018 123 Volume 4 Issue 2 Fall, 2018 News from Wisconsin’s local public, education and government access TV centers. Community Media Centers Produce and Air Election Coverage FCC action threatens the existence of community access channels in WI Community Access Television is under an unprecedented attack from the Federal Communications Commission. The FCC, chaired by Ajit Pai, is Election season is here again and your local community television centers have been busy covering forums, hosting studio considering ways to whittle away the public interest obligations cable companies have under federal law by charging cities for anything that does interviews, explaining the referendums and encouraging everyone to vote. Here’s just some of the coverage cable subscribers have not earn the companies revenue. City expenses will go up, cable company expenses will go down, and cable subscribers will pay the same price for been able to see. cable but without the Public, Education, and Government (PEG) access channels that air locally-produced programs. The community access channels will disappear because many cities will no longer be able to afford to equip, staff, and pay for them. For nearly 50 years, communities have been given the use of one or more PEG “access” channels on cable systems for programming of local interest – government meetings, issue debates, local music shows, community events, school sports and more. Knowing that cities have many serious priorities, federal law has also provided two ways to fund these channels so that cities can afford to produce programming for them and train the public to do so, too. Now, the FCC wants cities to pay cable companies for these channels with the franchise fees the law requires cable companies to pay cities for the use of city streets – the same fees cities use to fund community television and other city services. The other fee available under federal law to pay for PEG facilities and equipment has been outlawed in Wisconsin (2007 Act 42). A comment period is now open on the FCC’s Second Further Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (MB Docket No. 05-311). If the FCC is successful in reinterpreting the law in this unprecedented way, Wisconsin cities will face an unwelcome choice: keep the community PEG access channels and find another source of money to fund production of programming or return the channels to the cable company. If the PEG channels are returned, there will be no local programming on cable anymore. WCM is very concerned about the future of access television here in Wisconsin.

  • FP&M) SNOW REMOVAL PLAN 2018-2019 (Revision
    FACILITIES PLANNING AND MANAGEMENT (FP&M) SNOW REMOVAL PLAN 2018-2019 (Revision) GENERAL The intent of this snow plan is to standardize and document the routine actions normally taken by Facilities Planning and Management (FP&M) to combat a winter snow or ice storm. Every storm is different, with different starting times, temperatures, precipitation rates, accumulations and durations. Each, therefore, requires a slightly different approach to controlling and removing snow and ice accumulations. This plan identifies the general FPM staff resources, equipment resources, areas of responsibility and general strategies for managing any given storm. Consistent with FP&M's goal to continually improve its work processes, we will routinely review the results of this plan and make revisions to improve the effectiveness of our snow and ice control efforts. The presence of snow or ice on walk, road, stair and parking surfaces inhibits the movement of students, faculty, staff and visitors and presents a safety hazard. The control and removal of those snow or ice accumulations is the responsibility of all FP&M, Residence Life and the auxiliaries' facilities staff members, not just the FP&M grounds operation. With the exception of providing safe, adequate utilities, on the day of a snow or ice storm; the control and removal of that storm's precipitation accumulations is the top priority of all campus wide operations. GOALS: The goal of the University of WI-Whitewater’s FP &M’s snow and ice control operation is to maintain adequate traction for pedestrians and vehicles properly equipped for winter conditions. This does not mean bare, dry pavement should be expected after each snowfall or ice storm.

  • Inclement Weather/School Closings Information
    Rich Dahman Carey Bradley Susan L. Probst Ryan K. Ruggles Superintendent Director of Business Services Director of Student Services Director of Curriculum & Instruction Inclement Weather/School Closings Information The School District of Milton takes the decision to close school due to inclement weather conditions very seriously. Many individuals, agencies, and factors are involved in the decision-making process. The most important consideration in the decision is the safety of our students. To ensure that you are informed of school closings or delays, it is important that we have accurate contact information in the Skyward Family Access system. Families should be sure to check their contact information in the Skyward system. The Skyward login can be found at https://www.milton.k12.wi.us/families/Family_Access.cfm Extreme Cold/Hazardous Travel Conditions We monitor the weather conditions and remain informed about weather forecasts, receiving information from both national and local weather services. Our general practice is to close schools if the National Weather Service issues a Wind Chill ​ Warning (when sustained wind chills below -35 degrees are expected) during school hours and/or when significant snowfall and/or ice accumulation or other precipitation that presents hazardous travel conditions exists. While our district staff has the responsibility to close school due to weather, no decision of ours overrides your judgment as a parent or guardian. If you believe travel is unsafe for your student(s), we defer to you to make the best decision for your family based on the circumstances presented. Please note that weather-related absences will be coded as 'parent excused' and will still count toward your student’s attendance for the semester.
