Letters Boost ESN TV satellite education plan gains support
The Missouri School Board Association's Education Satellite Network ESN is now in two years of operation and expanding beyond Missouri with adoptions in Texas Wyoming Idaho Colorado Arizona Tennessee and more. NSBA's involvement promises broader state adoption as ESN links schools via satellite offering courses from German to calculus and graduate credits for teachers with programs from France TV to C Span and Discovery Channel. Critics contrast ESN with Whittle Communications Bloom High School choosing a single channel satellite with limited news and ads, urging broader access and funding for a true distance learning center to serve students into the 21st century.
