❖ Allows the public to watch the board meetings in real time, or at another time (post meeting) that is more convenient ❖ The recording would capture the speaker(s), along with the presentation ❖ The feed would be broadcast on the internet (via YouTube) ❖ The recordings would be archived, and available through the district website

❖ Pros ➢ Allows residents who can’t attend the meeting the ability to watch it at a more convenient time ➢ Accurate, factual information will be available to a greater number of residents ❖ Cons ➢ Opportunity for grandstanding by meeting participants

YouTube Channel ❖ Use current YouTube Channel – GLTV ❖ Familiarity with the parent and school community ❖ No cost to use the account

Live Stream Account ❖ Establish an account similar to the Township’s account ❖ Cannot share account with the town as there are concerns regarding who owns the recordings and OPRA responsibilities ❖ Account cost – less than $1,000 annually
