Video Board Meetings

Zoom is an online meeting platform that will be used by the Santa Rosa City Schools  Board of Education. Those who wish to view the meeting will need an internet connection and device. Zoom is compatible with Windows and Apple computers, along with iPhones, iPads, Chromebooks and Android devices.

If Zoom is not currently installed on a computer or device, when you click on the link to a meeting, Zoom will ask to download a small app to the computer or device. Please “accept” the install to continue to the Zoom meeting. Zoom will only need to install the app the first time a computer or device is used with Zoom. Smartphone users can install the Zoom app prior to a meeting by visiting their app store. “ZOOM Cloud Meetings” is the name of the app.

About 15 minutes before the meeting, come back to this web page and click on the link to the meeting at the top of this page. As mentioned above, those who wish to view the meeting will need an internet connection and device. Zoom is compatible with Windows and Apple computers, along with iPhones, iPads, Chromebooks and Android devices. The device must have working speakers to hear the meeting.

We recommend viewing in the meeting via the Zoom app or a web browser. However, you can also listen in by phone, and hear the meeting’s audio. Follow the "call in" instructions at the top of this web page.

School board meetings follow an agenda. The public comment period is an opportunity for the board to listen to citizen comments, but not to debate issues or enter into a question-and-answer session between the public and school board members. As with other government bodies, the public does not participate in decision-making. Instead, it provides input to the elected school board members, who take the input into consideration in making their decisions. You can email board members.
