"Technical difficulties" prevent streaming of board meeting

Anyone who tried to watch yesterday's school board meeting online, on APS' award winning website, found the following instead;

PLEASE NOTE: Due to technical difficulties, the Wednesday, August 15, 2012 Board Meeting will not be available to watch live. We're working on the problem and will have the archive video posted later this month.

This isn't the first time.

The likelihood of a technical malfunction correlates with the board's discomfort with being seen. The stupider or more shameful their conduct, the more likely it is that the record will be damaged or lost entirely. They've a long and rich history of not getting it right, link.

There are people in the world, who can record meetings on flip phones and have the video posted online in a matter of minutes.

They don't work, apparently, for the APS.

APS bought more than a hundred thousand dollars worth of electronics and then hired two "experts" to run it, and still can't seem to get things up on the internet.

They get away with it because Kent Walz and the Journal won't investigate and report upon credible evidence and allegations of an ethics and accountability scandal in the leadership of the APS.
