Chair recommends livestreaming work sessions to improve access
Summary
The chair recommended livestreaming work sessions from the boardroom, citing existing tech capacity; several board members supported the idea as a transparency measure.
The chair recommended livestreaming work sessions so community members who cannot attend can still observe in real time, noting the boardroom has the necessary technology to do so. "I think, you know, we've talked about do we live stream our work sessions? ... We need to do it in here because we have all the tech to set up for live stream," the chair said, urging the district to implement streaming rather than limiting it to formal board meetings.
Several board members voiced support for increased transparency through livestreaming; one member said, simply, "A 100%." The chair and others asked staff to evaluate live-streaming logistics and equipment use in the current meeting room, with the expectation that work sessions could be streamed in the near term if technical and publication processes are in order.
No formal vote was taken; the board asked administration to return with an implementation plan if streaming is feasible.
