Should we just stop having public school board meetings?

Why not just hold them in private or something?

Um, because the boards conduct public business subject to public open meetings laws.

yes, they'd have to change the rules about meetings, but I don't blame the thought. Some folks can't seem to control themselves. I wouldn't want to be a BOE member with all the threats and low pay.

For security reasons in the present environment wouldn’t it be possible to hold the meetings in private in a secure area but live stream it in full. Then afterwards have a live Q/A with parents, journalists, and other concerned parties.

Incidents like this is totally unacceptable.

Sure. Let's allow congress and state and local legislatures to do the same. We'll be North Korea in a decade.

While there have been some over the top responses, can you really blame the parents? Some B's of E are making terrible decisions and harming kids. It's only natural for parents to want to protect their kids.

If they aren’t following procedures, are becoming belligerent and disrupting meetings then yes, I blame them.

yes.. what the BOE are doing does not threaten lives.

Some of the parents have threatened the BOE, egged their homes, slashed tires, etc.. That's insane. Great role models they are to their kids.

Congress wouldn’t be a bad comparison. The public get to have their say but there are boundaries and guards and protection. MOST of the time you can’t just gate crash the capitol chanting kill the Vice President.

No. With proper security, these should remain open to the public. Sunlight is the best approach.

Unless it's 1/6 and you have the POTUS' backing.

Eliminate the public comment section and live stream the meeting itself. Public comments aren't required.

Public can use office hours or email/letters to communicate with the SB.
