The Board of Education has drafted a policy for the videotaping of its meetings.
If the policy is adopted, individuals will be able to videotape meetings as long as the videotaping does not distract the participants. If the board president (or the person in charge of the meeting) considers the videotaping disruptive, he or she can stipulate where the recording device should be placed.
If the school district records a meeting at the board’s request, the district will have to follow the laws that concern access by people with disabilities.
For the policy to become official, the school board will have to reread and approve it at the next meeting.
