GRAND ISLAND —
The Grand Island school board will embark on its first-ever "eMeeting" in October.
That means the board meeting will be paperless, with the agenda and all
supporting documents printed electronically on laptop computers
supplied to each individual board member.
Sue Burch, GIPS director of technology, said the system is being promoted by the Nebraska Association of School Boards.
Grand Island is hardly a trailblazer, though.
Eighteen other school districts, some much smaller than Grand Island, also are using the eMeeting system. They include:
Arlington Public Schools, Bellevue Public Schools, Cambridge, Hershey
Public School, Holdrege, Hyannis Area Schools, Lexington, Middletown, Millard, Norfolk Public Schools, Papillion-LaVista, Plattsmouth
Community Schools, Ravenna Public Schools, Scottsbluff, Shelton Public
Schools, Sutherland Public School, Tri County Public Schools and
Valentine.
