The pandemic moved meetings onto Zoom, now local agencies are starting to move away from hybrid formats.
It wasn’t until the pandemic that Val Ryabov started tuning into Cupertino Union School District board meetings, waiting online for hours to deliver less than three minutes of remarks as he and other parents fought to ensure the district returned to in-person learning.
As the Bay Area continues to find its way through a new normal with waves of Covid surges, many local governments have once again started meeting in person, with some still allowing people to participate remotely and some not. “If I’m dialed in, I can take care of my 2-year-old, I can spend time with my 12-year-old, I can do a lot of things while being dialed in and listening in and waiting for my turn to speak,” he said of remote participation. “If I have to attend in person, it all falls on my wife.”
Some of the Bay Area’s largest school districts have returned to their pre-pandemic ways in the last year, however, with no sign of going back to a hybrid model. CUSD parent Ivan Kuznetsov, who has one son in the district, said the remote commenting option is especially important for immigrant parents like himself.
