The COVID-19 pandemic prompted the Central Okanagan Board of Schooling to livestream its meetings through Zoom, but that practice came to an stop a couple of months in the past when pandemic limitations have been lifted.
Now one particular trustee desires to provide back again the streaming on a long lasting foundation.
Wayne Broughton introduced a notice of motion at the Wednesday board meeting.

I feel in particular for personnel customers and factors like that, who are not elected officials. Also there had been issues all around acquiring minors, since we generally have pupils who are presenting at these board meetings,” stated Broughton.
“One plan was to have a delayed broadcast of this or even just a recording put up later on immediately after we have experienced time, to say, edit out a minimal who didn’t give permission to be on the internet.”
He claims all those information will be hammered out by SD 23 staff members around the summertime. A last implementation approach is not anticipated until the tumble.
Broughton believes streaming the meetings will strengthen community involvement and training but also give obtain to people with disabilities and those who really don’t reside near to the board workplaces in Kelowna.
