"Happy Friday!
We, Hamilton Central School District, have had a student representative for two years now.
This is what we do:
An application is put out by the Superintendent to all 11 grade students to apply.
The Superintendent and Secondary…"
"Hello - We have used Google Forms as we found the cost for SuperEval isn't worth it for the board evaluation (we do use SuperEval for the Superintendent evaluation). Happy to chat more if you want to email me mjacobsenboe@hamiltoncentral.org"
"We too are at large, 5 person board rotating 2/2/1. We then determine the two seats during our reorganization meeting amongst the board members. One reason I feel this is helpful is, when someone starts their first year they aren't always ready for…"
"We live feed and archive and haven't had any bad experiences. We do continue to discuss the need to record though and haven't settled on anything there yet."
"I would think so. Here's the thing though, if you are asking for something and don't want your superintendent to know about it, there are likely bigger fish to fry...Open communication between you and the superintendent is important to the success…"
"Our meetings are in person because our schools are open and we felt it was important to set an example: that our buildings are safe for students and staff as well as the board. Two of our board members who are retired seniors are attending virtually…"
"Thank you all for your replies. We have a few members that want in person but a few that do not see the benefit at this time. We are hybrid for learning and I think the members that want us back in feel it shows that we feel it's safe to be in if we…"
"We are still doing virtual (Zoom) board meetings. We tried a partial in-person meeting and it was really difficult for the public to follow. They asked that we go back to live streamed Zoom meetings."
"We give BOE members the option to attend in person or virtually. Members who attend in person follow 6' distance and mask rules. The campus is closed to visitors so the community has to attend virtually. Most administrators attend virtually so…"
"Our district is also hybrid and the board is in person with virtual community. We have ramped up the presenters and presentations so our board meetings look more normal. We are using two cameras and many microphones so that the virtual audience…"
"Our district is 5 days a week for K-5 and hybrid for 6-12. Our Board has been meeting in person for several months. We each have our own table, and everyone is more than 6' apart and wearing masks. Under the orange zone restrictions, we didn't…"
"Our district hybrid and we are meeting in person in our Middle School cafeteria. Each board member and members of the Admin Team have their own table.
My thought is if we are having students and staff in the buildings the least the board could do…"
"Our school board did not vote. Our Superintendent went with the advisement of the County health office and we are not allowing sports outside our school (we will do something internal with our own students). We were struggling with the idea of it…"
I am wondering what districts are holding in person BOE meetings vs virtual BOE meetings? If in person who has community in person and who in person.Our school is currently hybrid. We were virtual, then in person with virtual community, and now…
