Ellsworth School Board returns to pre-pandemic protocols, stops Facebook comments ELLSWORTH — Described as a return to normalcy by School Board members, the public will no longer be able to comment during board meetings and workshops via email or on Facebook where meetings are livestreamed. The full board unanimously approved both proposals on May 11. “At times, the comments on there have been completely unnecessary,” Chairwoman Jennifer Alexander said on public comments on Facebook during board meetings. Board members do not monitor Facebook comments during the meeting, but because comments were allowed, questions were posted anyway, she added. In addition, since meetings are streamed through the Ellsworth High School Facebook page, language should be appropriate for that age group, and board Vice Chairwoman Abigail Miller said that has not been the case.
