Nyack School Board To Go Paperless

In an attempt to go green, the Nyack School District is looking into going paperless with their board meetings at some point in this school year. 

"The board is currently going through training on a software that’s designed to be more green and environmentally sound with paper production," said Superintendent Jim Montesano. They're shifting into a program called BoardDocs.

He added that once the board learns how to use BoardDocs, it'll better streamline and organize the board. 

For the community, it'll be able to find documentation of “things the board is voting on or … considering” with internet access. "If people don’t have the availability (to go online), we can make the arrangements for that."

Those that want a sneakpeek at what BoardDocs is all about, the Nanuet School District made the paperless switch in 2010.

Also, with two new board members—Dan Kaplan and Karen Hughes, the board also read and signed the School Board Code of Conduct at Tuesday's meeting.

The action items listed on the school board agenda were all approved with the exception of item No. 21, which was tabled until the next meeting. No. 21 covered staff appointments. A copy of the agenda is attached to this article as a PDF
