Recently, a reader emailed the following:
Rumor has it that Elmbrook may discontinue cable
broadcasts of BOE meetings, as they aren't sure anyone watches. I
cannot recall who told me this several weeks ago, but now I see there
is an item scrolling at the top of the district home page to the effect
of: please tell us if you like the broadcasts.
If you do, this is
probably the time to let them know. I certainly value them.
So I emailed Elmbrook Schools Feedback:
Someone told me that Elmbrook is thinking of discontinuing their cable TV broadcasts. Is this true?
What ever happened to the idea that Elmbrook would just post the school board meetings on the internet like Wauwatosa does?
Thanks,
Kyle Prast
Here is my reply: (Emphasis mine)
Hi Kyle
Thank you for contacting Elmbrook Schools. We are pleased that
you are interested in how we make board meetings available for public
viewing.
At this time, there is no plan to discontinue broadcasting the
meetings on cable channels 13 and 96. We will continue to do this.
We do not record the meetings digitally at this time, therefore
they are not posted on the web. It may be an option in the future for
the district.
Thanks again!
This was my reply back:
Thank you, Melinda. It would be great to have the meetings on the
internet. Not everyone has cable TV. Plus, viewers could then watch at
any time.
Kyle
So if you value the broadcasts on Cable TV, give Melinda Mueller a call or email. If you would like to see them on the internet, let her know that too. If they don't hear from you, how will they know?
