Cancellation Policy		Cancellation Policy: Muskingum Valley Educational Service Center Distance Learning Connection and Cancellation Policy The Muskingum Valley Educational Service Center (MVESC) understands the occasional need to reschedule programs due to changing schedules, inclement weather, or technical difficulties; however, MVESC commits resources to a program the moment a reservation is received and presenters are scheduled. Presenters must be paid for their preparation, time, and travel. Please note the Distance Learning Cancellation Policy below: 1. The school will: •Have an audience for the time and date the district scheduled the session and coordinate with teachers, technicians, coordinators, treasurers, and other parties prior to submitting the request; •MVESC asks that anyone making a reservation please check school calendars for holidays, professional development days, and testing dates to avoid potential conflicts. 2. Failure of a school to have the audience available for the scheduled session will result in a $25 charge for the session. Scheduled events must be cancelled at least 24 hours in advance of the session to avoid the $25 cancellation fee. This fee is nonreturnable and may not be applied toward a future session. 3. MVESC strongly recommends performing a test connection at least two days prior to the event. The school has the right to cancel any program the day of the test if a successful connection cannot be made. In such a case, MVESC will not charge the $25 cancellation fee. If technical reasons prevent a successful connection on the day of the session, the $25 fee also will be waived. The $25 fee applies to all MVESC sponsored programming. 4. Taping of sessions is prohibited. 5. There is a 30 student maximum on all MVESC connections. It is the goal of the MVESC Distance Learning Program to maintain high quality student interaction with the presenters. Limiting the number of students per session will ensure successful connections. a. All point to point student sessions will be charged a $75.00 instructional fee. All point to point PD sessions will follow the special pricing structure (listed below) in the program fee notes. b. For sites that go over the student maximum, an additional $25.00 (overage fee) will be applied. c. This fee will be applied on your invoice at the end of the month. d .For extra students added to a connection, an additional $25.00 fee will apply. (e.g. 31- 60 students—Site charged $75.00 instructional fee plus $25 overage fee; 61-90 students--Site charged $75.00 instructional fee plus $50.00 overage fee.) 6.
