The half-hour program uses a hosted, in-studio format with three segments of conversations with experts about the work the District has done to address the serious issues with the rollout of MiSiS, and what the major next steps are to advance toward project completion. Brief features – included between segments – will highlight voices from school employees and their experiences with MiSiS, and give a glimpse into the “engine under the hood;” the hardware in the District’s central data center needed to keep MiSiS running. WHERE: Whereas most of the program was recorded live-to-tape in studio, additional elements were pre-packaged using footage taped on location at school sites and at District headquarters. WHEN: The initial broadcast airs on Monday, April 20 at 6:30 a.m. and again at 6:30 p.m. on KLCS-TV. (The station appears on Channel 58 on most Southern California cable systems. Consult listings to find KLCS-TV in local areas.)

Cortines; Chief Advisor to the Superintendent Diane H. Pappas; and LAUSD Deputy Chief Information Officer Shahryar Khazei.
