Fast Forward for Meetings


For those who'd like their school board meetings to be short and to the point, the Montgomery County public schools' Web site has a new feature for you.

No longer will you have to wade through the video of the entire meeting to get to the topic you're interested in. The school system's very wise webmasters have come up with a way for you to click on a link that will take you straight to the discussion you want to hear.

Now, whether it's Superintendent Jerry D. Weast discussing the achievement gap or Stephen N. Abrams (Rockville-Potomac) on the inspector general, it'll be right there at your fingertips.

Ahh, the power of technology.
