McKeesport Area School Board is switching its calendar to only hold one meeting per month, and the board president said she has concerns about the scheduling decision.
Board President Mindy Lundberg also announced during last Wednesday’s regular meeting that starting next month, the district will no longer post a video/livestream of board meetings to the internet.
“As the board president, I am sharing the wishes of the board. It is the decision tonight that we are going to cut back to one meeting a month,” she said. “Unfortunately, I know we’re still coming out late. I as president have a concern with that but we are going to follow the recommendations of majority.”
