How we know

We count one meeting per body per day. A summary line shows only where a second AI reader checked every sentence against the transcript. More on how we count

Clips

What members said

No clip on this body passed our checks.
How we know

Officials on the body's roster only, never members of the public. Each clip plays here from where the member began speaking, and we checked who is speaking before it went up. More on how we count

Where the time went

School facilities and construction took 22% of this body's meeting time.

Out of 66 hours, older partial meetings included. The two AI readers disagreed on 14% of it; that time stays in the total.

  2. School budgets, deficits and cuts12% · 7.6 h
  3. Local tax and bond items (schools and city)4% · 2.7 h

How we know

Two AI readers (Claude Sonnet 5.5 and Gemini) each split every transcript into agenda items and gave each one issue from a fixed list. A stretch counts toward an issue only where both agree (lines on an item's edge are left out); the rest is 'unknown' and stays in the total. An issue's time is shown only when an independent Claude Opus read of randomly drawn moments (longer lines more likely) agrees at a Wilson lower bound of .90 or better. More on how we count

How members spoke, as a body

At least 7% of members' remarks raised a concern, of 77 remarks.

Board level only: never one member, never ranked against other bodies. A floor: the strict rule misses many polite concerns.

How we know

Three AI models read each member remark on these items. A remark counts as raising a concern only when all three agree, so the share is a floor. Never one member, never ranked against other bodies. More on how we count

Listed by seatMuch of what members say isn't matched to a person yet, so these minutes are floors. The real totals are higher.

Minutes are each member’s own speaking time that we could match to them, so each is a floor. We are measuring how much we miss.

Minutes speaking per meeting held while seated, leaving out the meetings the member ran; a meeting they missed, or where we couldn’t match their voice, counts as zero, so every number is a floor · talk time only, never tone or stance · Hamlet · How we count

How we know

Two AI readers named each voice and had to agree. A blind reader checked 206 names across this group of bodies, as drawn: 206 were right. Minutes count meetings while the member was seated; a meeting they missed counts as zero. Questions count the times a member put a real question to staff, presenters or colleagues; two AI readers had to agree, and 287 of 290 we checked were real questions. Only speech we could name counts, so they are floors. Meetings each member ran, of those counted here, from the body's dated officer list: Larry Jacobs 9. A member's minutes leave out the meetings they ran. More on how we count

Public comment

2 of the 9 meetings we counted had a public commenter. The busiest, on Oct 13, 2026, heard from 1.

How we know

We count public commenters. They are counted, never named or quoted. Officials, staff and invited presenters aren't counted. We checked the count against a full read of 50 meetings: 50 were within one speaker. More on how we count

How we know

From the roll call, or the chair's statement of who is present, read by two AI readers who had to agree. A meeting with no roll call we could read says "not recorded"; we never guess. We checked 158 roll calls against a separate read and 157 matched; of 91 absences, 91 were right. More on how we count
