BoardDocs
Overview
- Overview
-
BoardDocs is a paperless meeting and governance platform built for school districts, community colleges, municipalities, and other public boards. It centralizes agenda preparation, board packets, meeting materials, minutes, votes, policies, and public access so board-services staff do not have to assemble, distribute, revise, and archive separate paper or PDF packets.
Agenda preparation links departmental recommendations, supporting evidence, review, and recorded board action. Board-services staff maintain the relationship between internal preparation and the information released to the public. Preparing an item and recording final board action are separate stages. Board-services staff preserve the approved version and its relationship to the public meeting history.
