But, surprise! The meeting started on time at 4:30PM. Mr. Manning convened the open meeting and called for a motion to go into Executive Session. Somebody began speaking, and I think somebody started talking over her. There was an audio loop that caused spoken words to be played a second time.
Somebody ought to tell the board members that, when the Chair calls for a motion, the correct response is to ask to recognized. You don't just start talking - especially when everyone is attending remotely. After each meeting I have written to the board to suggest that they get a Zoom professional consultant to train them how to conduct an electronic meeting properly. Or maybe the superintendent could recommend to the Chair that they do that.
Teresa Holmes had a big smile on her face. Was that her dog that was barking? Again? That same Zoom consultant would have some direct words for her about putting her dog where its bark won't be heard or hiring someone to take it for a walk or even just using her Mute button to silence extraneous noises. It's definitely not cute.
Or was it someone else's dog? The same dog has barked in at least two previous meetings.
Here's the timer at 4:44PM. I caught it just before it vanished.
