Silent Video: Elmhurst D-205 Blames Technical Issues
Only a few minutes of the nearly two-hour meeting could be heard on video.
ELMHURST, IL — Elmhurst School District 205's board went silent at Tuesday's meeting — at least on video.
The board meeting started fine. Those watching the livestream could hear the board cite the reasons for going into closed session and then voting to do so. But while the board returned, the sound did not.
Later in the two-hour video, the music for a five-minute video about student activities could be heard. When the video ended, so did the sound.
