The Lakewood City Schools Are Now Even More Transparent

[marklingm]

Since January of 2008, some of my school board colleagues and I have been pushing to have unedited, full-length videos, as well as board meeting agendas and minutes, available on our website.

Now, thanks to the hard work of the Administration, the Lakewood City Schools are even more transparent.

Full-length videos of the Lakewood Board of Education meetings are available beginning with the June 21, 2010 meeting. See http://lakewoodcityschools.org/content_page2.aspx?cid=516.

Audio podcasts of the Lakewood Board of Education meetings are available beginning in 2010. See http://podcasting.schoolpointesites.com/Channel/Feed/86.

While I have neither the face nor the voice for either videos or podcasts, this is a step in the right direction.

Agendas and minutes can also be found attached to the appropriate meeting date in the column to the right on the following page: http://www.lakewoodcityschools.com/districtBoardEd.aspx.

And Lakewood City Schools Bylaws & Policies can be viewed at: http://www.neola.com/lakewood-oh/.

Glad to hear it, it's about time.

I hope though that all meetings, including emergency one are recorded. I understand the cost involved in videotaping them but I would hope that they could all at least be recorded in some manner.
