Tune into cable Channel 20
Port Jervis City School District has its own educational access television station. Since 2008, Time Warner Cable has enabled the District to provide local viewers with commercial-free access to school news, announcements, and programming on cable Channel 20.

Local cable viewers can watch live coverage of the Board of Education meetings and other public forums. School Board meetings are then re-aired daily at 9 a.m., 1 p.m., and 3 p.m. Meetings are typically aired for approximately two weeks until the next scheduled meeting.

Other programming includes athletic events, special school program, winter & spring school concerts, major award presentations, and high school graduation. A Program Schedule is posted on this web site and on Channel 20.

In between the programs, a Community Bulletin Board with important school calendar dates and announcements of upcoming school events airs 24-7.
