Wireless (Placeholder??) on DeKalb BOE Agenda Again Tonight

From DeKalb School Watch:

Tune in to the board business meeting tonight: Jan. 14 at 6pm

Posted on January 14, 2013by dekalbschoolwatch

Tune in Monday at 6:00 PM to the DEKALB BOARD OF EDUCATION BUSINESS MEETING. (A separate business meeting often follows the previous week’s work session in order to vote on consent items. However, the agendas for the business meetings sometimes do not follow the work session exactly and we are treated to surprises.  Watch for them. Click here to read our post on last week’s work session for comparison.)  You can stream it online [click here] or watch live on PDS Comcast 24. Or for some real fun – go in person!

Here is the agenda – there are some key decisions being made tonight.
