The bill has been amended to require that school districts with more than 5,000 students provide a live video feed and online access to recordings of their governing board meetings for at least five years. Previously, this requirement applied to districts with over 250 students or those that had offered live feeds before, which means larger districts will now have greater accountability and transparency. This change is important because it enhances public access to governance in larger school districts, allowing for better oversight and community engagement.
