Following new state law requiring school boards to record and archive its public, regularly-scheduled meetings, the Blaine school board posted the audio from its July 22 meeting online for the first time.
Meeting audio will be available the following day on the district’s website, bit.ly/3WaB1fy, by clicking the “video” button on each meeting page. Video service has not been set up, and only audio recordings are available currently.
Superintendent Christopher Granger said the district will soon have a livestreaming service so the public can view meetings as they happen, but said there are no plans to set up any virtual public comment portion for meetings. Those who wish to comment at school board meetings must still come to the school board room in person at 765 H Street.
In the district’s proposed budget for the 2024-25 school year, $45,000 has been earmarked for video recording and a digital archiving system, but Granger told the board that the full budgeted amount would likely not be used.
