BoardDocs Presentation


At the October 4, 2011 meeting, the Haldane Board of Education heard a demonstration of BoardDocs, a web-based tool that could enable the Board to increase its public transparency by making documents available on the internet. Along with the new iPad initiative, BoardDocs has the added benefit of decreasing the use of paper.
A tool such as BoardDocs will allow the Haldane Board of Education to conduct its business in a more efficient way, allowing the public to have access to documents presented at every meeting in a timely manner. Other features of this tool include collaborations with Boards of Education across the country, and 24/7 service support. The District would pay a one-time implementation fee of $1000, and $2,700 annual membership fee. For more information on BoardDocs check out: http://www.boarddocs.com/
Following the BoardDocs presentation President Joe Curto expressed his delight with the Haldane PTA adding that he was pleased to have been invited to the first PTA Meeting of the year. He also announced that he is interested in increasing the collaboration between the PTA and the Haldane Board of Education, and requests that a PTA Executive Board member regularly attend the Board of Education workshop meetings so that they can share their news with the Board. Workshop meetings are held once per month, and the next workshop is scheduled for October 18 at 7pm.
