AlertNow Message from RSU 21
Tuesday, January 3, 2012 1:44 PM
Several months ago, the RSU 21 Board of School Directors made the move to hold
its regular meetings at Kennebunk Elementary School in an attempt to provide
residents with a consistent location for attending meetings. One downside to
this move was that the new location did not provide the opportunity for meetings
to be viewed live from home, but that is all changing this week. Thanks to the
work of the district's technology department, all meetings held in the Board
Room (Room A102) at KES will now be streamed live over the internet at
http://www.rsu21.net/livestream.shtml ,so anyone with access to the internet
will be able to tune in from anywhere in the world.
During a test run held in late December, Superintendent Andrew Dolloff was
pleased with the quality of the webcast. "The picture is quite good - very
similar to that seen on local access television - and the audio is crystal
clear," Dolloff remarked. "We are pleased to be providing this service.
Whereas the cost to broadcast to television was very prohibitive, this solution
is cheap. In addition to viewing the live stream over the internet, citizens
will still be able to watch recordings of our meetings on local access
television, and the webcast will be available on-demand on our website."
The first RSU 21 Board meeting to be streamed live will be on Monday, January 9
at 7:00 p.m.
