Union SD 5 plans E‑rate internet connection to support meeting recording and classroom links
Summary
District leaders said they will use E‑rate funds to connect the meeting site to the high school internet this summer, enabling cameras, microphones and remote recording to improve meeting clarity and access.
Carter (speaker 4) told trustees the district plans to use E‑rate funding to connect the meeting building to the high school internet this summer. The connection would allow the district to install cameras, microphones and a monitor to record meetings and improve audio clarity for later review. "The Internet is supposed to be connected here this summer," Carter said, adding that the district plans to buy recording equipment once the connection is in place.
Board members discussed modest, cost‑effective microphone solutions and agreed that recording meetings and improving audio quality would aid transparency and make it easier to review past proceedings. Carter said he has a model in mind similar to the ESD boardroom setup and anticipates the local ESD tech department will assist with implementation.
