General Discussion...
Need independent room at the school, a dedicated room to up the production value. Video classroom not available. Dean looking at different rooms. We will fill with our extra equipment. They will produce. Two keys, we get one. details to be worked out regarding other access. MCTV must be in control of equipment in order to keep things organized and avoid failures for avoidable reasons.
VP: Will definitely want to consider asset tagging MCTV gear so that gear is clearly marked as MCTV property.
ML: Make sure all communication goes through Dean to principal Leonard and superintendent Sullivan.
4: Equipment information - Dean got new quotes for Selectboard room
General Discussion...
- Two quoted from DNR for gear, each with different audio components. Ceiling tile "boundary mic" like device. Dean has liked working with DNR support so far
