Berlin residents have an­other option on cable when programming their TiVo. The Board of Education has partnered with Nutmeg Tele­vision to have its meetings taped and shown on cable tel­evision Channel 95. Accord­ing to the Board of Educa­tion, the televising of its meetings has been a goal for board members.

Board of Education Presi­dent, Gary Brochu, observed that the televising of board meetings follows a number of other initiatives to in­crease communication with the community, such as hold­ing meetings at each school, distribution of a summary within 48 hours of board meetings, and the establish­ment of the Educational Council, a group consisting of representatives of our various community groups.

Meetings are scheduled to be televised at 6 p.m. on the Wednesdays and Sundays fol­lowing a BOE meeting. A complete schedule of the tel­evised BOE meetings can be found on the Board of Edu­cation webpage. "While we love having residents attend our meetings," said Brochu, "we understand that it's not always possible."

Meetings are held on the second and fourth Mondays of the month.
