It is up to the various boards in our town to adhere to the RSA laws and provide meeting minutes to the public within 5 business days. Some boards have expressed their concerns that there are discrepancies with the meeting minutes that need to be reviewed by board members before the minutes are made available to the public, thus violating RSA laws.

A mere suggestion to board members, take better minutes! Ask any college student about the importance of taking high quality notes during lectures/classes. It ensures accuracy and understanding of the discussion held.

If accurate meeting minutes are not produced, one can’t blame the public for that. Ownership falls on the writer of the minutes; thereby the direction of precision should be addressed to said writer and corrected for future meetings.
