Bill > A07705

This bill amends the Education Law to authorize city boards, city-wide councils, community councils, and school-based management teams to conduct meetings via videoconference without the physical presence of the public or the members, provided that such meetings comply with the requirements of the Open Meetings Law. Specifically, the bill allows these entities to hold remote meetings that are required to be public, while still ensuring transparency and public participation through measures such as live-streaming the proceedings and allowing the public to submit comments. This change aims to provide more flexible meeting options for these education-related bodies.
