BOE Off Camera 3 Hours on 9/11/2012

Anyone keeping track of all of the off-camera Board of Education open meetings in the last year? Apparently, the BOE has a lot they don't want the public to easily observe.  

 So much for technology and the Internet!  No transparency in the "work" of this Board of Education.  

 All day BOE open meetings used to mean all day publicly televised meetings.  Not any more.  Tomorrow's open meeting will include 3 hours in a side room, with out cameras or recording devices.  

 What happens in Room 127 stays in Room 127! 
Unless...you show up in person and observe the meeting!

    Janis, assuming there's a typo in the address you gave--850 Hungerford Drive, Room 123--since the BOE's announced agenda says its work session will happen in Room 127?

      Good question. Room 123 is the BOE office. Room 127 is a Conference Room down the hall.
