Williamson County School Board meeting starts soon - 6:30pm and public comment is up pretty quickly. Watch here (if it works!) . #wcsb
remember as you're watching that all the even-numbered districts are up for re-election next year (August 2022.) Tonight is D4 member Brad Fiscus's last meeting as they move out of state next week. We thank him for his service to our community the last few years!
Even-numbered districts include Dan Cash, Jay Galbreath, Candy Emerson, Eric Welch, and Board Chair Nancy Garrett in addition to the District 4 seat. wcs.edu/domain/1163
looks like a full house! no standing-room only people though in contrast to the last few months.

Back from the break. The agenda is approved. The consent agenda is approved. No discussion.
Superintendent's Report - Golden thanks the speakers, especially the students. First up he wants to recognize the ACT perfect scores first out of respect for the students' time, and then he will continue the Superintendent's report.
Carol Birdsong recognizes students who received perfect ACT scores. Congrats to these students!
#WCSB meeting is beginning...follow us here for live tweeting. 🧵
ladies and gentlemen, we have a working livestream WITH audio! it's a September miracle!
Superintendent Jason Golden reminds us that this is the month when a new Board Chair is elected. He runs the meeting until that agenda item happens. All 12 members are present.
We will be live-tweeting the #wcsb meeting right here starting at 6:00. Fingers crossed this one is peaceful and doesn't end up in the national news. 🤞
We are curious what the crowd looks like right now. If you have photos, please share.
In case there are issues with the @WCSedu broadcast like last time, @NC5 will also be streaming.
#wcsb meeting is back - missed a little bit since feed still isn't working. Golden says we can't solve covid.
We aren't going to solve covid when decisions are left up to local school boards. What we can do is mitigate, did that last year. (Jason Golden is the superintendent and is speaking now, just to be clear.) #wcsb
Golden gets interrupted and Chair gavels and tells a woman there's no talking. Golden says did summer school with about 1600 students, didn't have any positive cases in our school program. Audience claps.
Meeting will start in 8 mins! Stay tuned here for a pretty rapid fire live tweeting session of the meeting - we're fully charged up this time and should make it to the end! 🤞
