State bill would force school boards, city councils, others to livestream meetings — including Cherry Creek schools

Aurora Sentinel: While most Aurora governments regularly livestream public meetings, Cherry Creek School District does not. A proposed state law could change that. 

From even before the pandemic —  when most local school boards and governments began live streaming meetings or holding them remotely — Cherry Creek has been criticized for refusing to broadcast meetings over the internet. The issue was often a topic of discussion during the November school board elections. The district currently only uploads the audio recording of the meeting one day after a school board meeting.

The district does not have a designated school board meeting room. The school board varies the locations of its meetings in an effort to hold sessions at schools across the expansive school district. School officials have previously cited the irregular locations as an obstacle to livestreaming the meetings.
