Birmingham school board resolution calls for in-person public meetings If students are back in the school buildings, the school board should be back in the school buildings. That's the intent behind a resolution coming before the Birmingham Public Schools board of education later this month. The resolution, discussed during a Feb. 9 study meeting of the board, asks for the state to allow for the board of education to meet in person since students are expected to return to full-time in-person school. The argument for such a resolution, board Treasurer Amy Hochkammer said, is to set an example by bringing the board of education back to meeting in the schools at the same time students are back.
