SHAWANO — The idea of livestreaming Shawano School Board meetings was not greeted with enthusiasm Monday, much to the dismay of the local resident who pitched the idea.

The matter went before Shawano School District’s policy and curriculum committee, and members expressed concern that having board members conducting business live and on camera for full board meetings and committee meetings would curtail discussions and not be cost effective for the district.

SHAWANO — The Shawano School Board received some suggestions Monday night on how to improve transparency between the school district and the families who utilize its education services.

Shelby Kaveinga, a member of a group called Shawano School Stakeholders, said her group has been working on identifying strengths and weaknesses with school and district communication. The group distributed a survey that indicated taxpayers would like to be able to access video feeds of school board meetings.
