Kenton Schools Provide Webcast of Board Meetings at your convenience

Subject: Kenton Schools Provide Webcast of Board Meetings at your convenience
Friends,
Isn't it interesting that Kenton Schools did this without much expense. They also provide other audio links. [Click here]
You will note that this is current. Perhaps STRS could contact Kenton Schools regarding their technology.
A CORE member
The note above came to me from a fellow CORE member. STRS tells us a webcast is expensive and they are worried that not enough people might be interested. Isn't it interesting that a small school district in one of the rural areas of northwest Ohio can put their board meeting on a WEBCAST (AUDIO ONLY) IN LESS THAN 24 HOURS AND HAVE IT MADE AVAILABLE TO THE LISTENING PUBLIC! All of this from a school district who hasn't been able to pass an operating levy? If THEY can afford to do this "in-house," then STRS can afford to do this for 100,000 plus STRS retirees. Kenton has a population of less than 10,000 inhabitants, not students but inhabitants! Kenton is not noted for being a "wealthy school district." Like the writer says, "Perhaps STRS could contact Kenton Schools regarding their technology." John
