SD Unified adopts text alert system proposed by activists at school board meetings
San Diego-This week, the San Diego Unified School District launched a new initiative by local civil rights activist Shane Harris to help people who want to attend school board meetings at home.
The plan is called “Promoting Democracy” and is an open government campaign. It has established a short message notification system that will remind people when issues of concern arise at meetings. Its purpose is to avoid people spending hours watching the conference while waiting for the opportunity to speak.
The San Diego Unified was the first government agency in the county to implement the system. It will be used at the next school district board meeting on July 13.
