Board asks administration for cost, legal review of livestreaming meetings
Summary
Trustees discussed livestreaming board meetings on Aug. 11 after public comments urged access. No decision was made; administration was asked to gather cost and legal‑compliance examples from other districts and report back at the Aug. 25 Finance Committee meeting.
Board members discussed the possibilities and risks of livestreaming board meetings after public comment requested broader access. Trustees identified advantages — increased public access and archival records — and concerns, including cost, record retention, and legal exposure when producing a live feed.
No motion was made. The board asked the superintendent to assemble examples of implementation, cost estimates and legal considerations used by peer districts and to present findings to the Finance Committee on Aug. 25 so trustees could consider a pilot program.
