Members of the Community High School District 94 Board of Education discussed whether the district's written minutes should include more detail from meetings, such as questions and answers, student reports and other exchanges that currently appear only in video recordings.

One board member said prior, more detailed minutes were useful for later reference and for new members. Others noted the district posts video recordings on YouTube and that automated captions/transcripts are available, but cautioned that captions are not always accurate and that not all community members can access video archives. Several members suggested a middle ground: include substantive question‑and‑answer exchanges and attach student representative materials when provided.

Board members and administration discussed practicalities — who would decide which exchanges merited inclusion and the additional workload for staff. The board asked administration to begin by capturing questions and answers and attaching student reports (when available), then reassess after a few meetings to determine whether the level of detail is sufficient.

Administration said it would accommodate the board’s direction and asked for specificity if the board later requests additional changes. The board placed the topic on a follow‑up schedule to evaluate whether the revised practice meets members’ needs.
