Why video conferencing sites are better | Anyone who’s ever attended a meeting at the Columbia Borough School District’s administrative building, knows the acoustics are horrible. While the youtube and facebook live streaming are communication endeavors; people watching from remote sites need to be able to clearly hear what’s being said. This is just one reason why video conferencing sites are much, much better.

Reflecting | Let’s really value and appreciate those who are continuing to deliver outstanding service during this period in our history: grocery store workers; drug store workers; newspaper delivery people; postal workers; caregivers; emergency responders; restaurant owners and workers; volunteers; 2-1-1 and 9-1-1 call takers; elected public servants and so many others.
