BOE Meeting - October 09, 2007

For the BOE junkies in the house, here is the Board of Education webcast - October 09, 2007

For those that prefer written notes, Kim Knox's notes are found here: BOE Approves UESF Contract and Jim Dierke National Middle School Principal of the Year

And for fans the School Board Notes reports, we have some bad news from GreatSchools.net's president Bill Jackson:

KC,

Bad news... we are not going to be continuing the School Board Notes service at this point. Our funding ran out a year ago, but we decided to keep doing it anyway for a year. I think it is helpful, but it does cost us thousands per year, and we don’t have a funding stream for it. Looking ahead, we’re going to be developing online community features that might make it easier for parents to share info about school board meetings (and lots more) — I’ll let you know as we launch — we’d love your feedback.

Regards,
Bill

Nicole's School Board Notes have been a great resource during the turbulent times she's been reporting. Now that we have access to the webcasts, and while we are enjoying an outbreak of peace and tranquility on the BOE, I can see why GreatSchools would allow the program to lapse.

Thanks Nicole for all the time and effort that have gone into your reporting. It will be missed.
