Virtual Meetings and the Public




The noon Muscle Shoals School Board meeting on Tuesday will be a virtual affair. Good or bad? A reader has asked:

Are the Muscle Shoals superintendent interviews offered access to the public for viewing, such as a public login to the virtual interview app?

Open Meetings Act. Can the assistant superintendent serve as interim after Lindsey leaves if the Shelter In Place is still in effect?

What is the rush?

How does this fit in with the open meetings act if the public (read: parents), don't have access? Or if there is access, it has not been publicized? 

Other public boards are also conducting business in this manner. A great use of modern technology or a great way to hide personal agendas from the taxpaying public?

No matter who the three Muscle Shoals finalists may be, you can bet none of them will have red hair...

(Just an aside here...rebuttals welcome, but comments that this time of crisis should exclude political commentary are not the most intelligent arguments we've ever encountered.)
