WHY HAS LIVE STREAMING BEEN STOPPED?
ARE RECORDINGS NOW BEING EDITED?
One nice thing about public meetings at Northwestern Lehigh school district is that they have been live streamed for several years. These meetings also are archived and can be watched by those that have not been able to attend meetings. This has been a very valuable service to not only the community, but also Board members who seem to often be absent from important board meetings. I believe the last meeting to be live streamed was May 4, 2016. Since then, the meetings show up 5 or 6 days later and often in several parts. This appears as though the meetings are now being edited before being made available to the public. While all meetings are by law open to the public, in todays era of the need for transparency in all public proceedings, these videos should be protected. These videos of meetings should not be edited as they are the only record of these meetings. After viewing these latest meetings, I have not seen any board action that has been taken to suspend live streaming of these meeting. If these actions where taken without board approval, it should be made public, who and under what authority they have taken this action.
