The Hamilton Southeastern School Board has not yet started video live-streaming board meetings, but the board is still talking about how long to make the recordings of those sessions available.

Three new board members took office in 2019, but the previous board had approved a policy of allowing video recordings to be available to the public for 45 days.  Board member Michelle Fullhart asked that the issue be placed on the agenda of Wednesday night’s meeting and it sparked a lively discussion.

When all was said and done, the board took no action, but sent the issue back to the Policy Committee, with the intention to possibly vote on the issue at the February 13th board meeting.

There were several ideas voiced by different board members, from keeping the current policy of a 45 day video retention period to keeping the videos online for 4 years.  There was no consensus from the board on this issue Wednesday night.
