Before BoardDocs, the school board meetings used to have a "board packet" that contained all the information that would be presented to the board members so that the public knew what was going on in the district. The "board packet" contained lots of useful information including formal resolutions that the board passed to make decisions for the district. Go to the archives and compare a board packet from 2018 with the meeting agenda on BoardDocs that is available now. The new "BoardDocs" is so inferior to the old document system (and the district is probably paying a lot more money for the technology.)
