It could be a contentious school board meeting in Williams Lake tonight. (Jan 26)The Cariboo Chilcotin School Board is scheduled to talk about some controversial changes to the way it conducts meetings that are being considered. This is part of the District’s procedural bylaw that governs procedural operations, including the role of trustees, the management of meetings, and public participation. “I attended the most recent public School District board meeting and observed significant frustration among attendees regarding the discussion of a potential closure of the public gallery during monthly board meetings. Open access to these meetings is an important part of maintaining transparency and public trust.”Tonight’s (Jan 26) meeting starts at 6-30.
