ElectronicSchoolBoard (ESB)
Overview
- Overview
-
ElectronicSchoolBoard, or ESB, is a paperless board-meeting management platform from InterCom Network. It automates the process of creating agenda initiatives, routing them for review and approval, assembling meeting packets, conducting meetings, recording actions, and publishing information for the public. District board-services staff coordinate internal preparation and public meeting information.
An agenda item connects its originating department, supporting records, review, and final action. Board-services staff maintain that sequence while separating internal preparation from the published meeting record. 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.
