The Peoria Public Schools Board of Education stopped broadcasting their meetings live in May of this year, opting to show the meeting a week delayed and with the public comments portion of the meeting excised. The first meeting in May was recorded (audio only) by blogger Elaine Hopkins and posted on her site. This week’s meeting was recorded by Diane Vespa (video and audio), and she and Hopkins, on behalf of the District 150 Watch group, have partnered with WMBD-TV to put the video on channel 31’s website. You can see this week’s meeting by clicking on this link: http://centralillinoisproud.com/district-150.
These videos are complete and unedited, and will be uploaded sooner than the replay on cable access channel 17. Plus, they will be available on demand to anyone with an internet connection. Kudos to District 150 Watch and WMBD-TV for providing this public service.
Mary O’Brian may have gotten a job at ISBE, but she was let go from the district and actually had to be escorted out! She must have been having one of her hair pulling screaming fits. I find it hard to believe ISBE hired her. Must be the DR. in front of her name, they too will figure her out and realize she needs to go!
truth: that is funny. did that really happen?
I heard the same thing. I heard O’Brian was trying to get checks written but had no idea what account they were supposed to come out of. When questioned about certain things, she didn’t have answers. I was told she was escorted to the door before her time was up. Whether it is truth or rumor, I can’t say for sure. I wasn’t there, but I’ve heard from several people.
