Fort Worth School Trustees Conduct Historic Meeting
The Fort Worth ISD Board of Education conducted a historic meeting on Tuesday, March 31, 2020 when the entire Board met with Superintendent Kent Scribner and District staff, and the general public online. The virtual meeting was conducted in response to the COVID-19.
With every Board member, and every staff member in a separate remote location, and utilizing an online meeting application, the Board conducted regularly scheduled business without interruption. In addition, the Board was able to hear comments and questions from three members of the general public.
One of the more noteworthy decisions by the Board was the approval of a resolution allowing Superintendent Scribner to make decisions normally reserved for Board consideration. The resolution was a recognition that the current local and national medical emergency may require immediate decisions which, if delayed for Board approval, would be disadvantageous to the District. The resolution is valid for 120 days.
The meeting was carried on the District’s YouTube channel, FWISD EdTV and on the local Spectrum (Charter) cable system. Replays of the meeting are available at FWISD EdTV YouTube.
