Watch School Board Meetings on the Web

Prior Lake-Savage Area Schools is pleased to announce the launch of its new webcasting technology, providing parents and area residents with convenient access to live and archived streaming of school board meetings through its website.

Residents can review board agendas posted alongside the video player for live and archived meetings. Archived meetings are indexed, allowing viewers to select agenda items that interest them instead of watching a meeting in its entirety.

Archived meetings are key-word searchable and available as MP3 (audio) and MP4 (video) downloads.

Anyone with access to the internet can view live and archived meetings by visiting the district's home page at http://www.priorlake-savage.k12.mn.us/ and clicking on "School Board Meeting Videos" under the "Quick Guide." If a meeting is in progress you can click the "in progress" link to view an event live. You can click "View Meeting" to view an archived event.

The school district has been broadcasting its board meetings through local cable channel 17 in Prior Lake and Savage and will continue to air meetings each Tuesday and Saturday.
