JEDI connects its member
sites via fiber optics and
other technical components so that each site
may originate and receive
real-time, live, educational programming. JEDI
also offers On-Line
Classes. This allows for
anytime, anyplace learning. Additionally, in
2006 the JEDI Consortium established the
JEDI Virtual High
School.
|
JEDI programming is carefully planned by
District Administrators, Principals, and
Guidance Representatives from each of
the member districts. The best interest of
the student is always the first priority for
this group.
Students and parents in member districts and outside
member districts are
encouraged to contact the local district or
