Few Wauwatosa residents have time to attend every Wauatosa School Board meeting or watch the full recordings once posted to YouTube. Years ago, local newspapers – The Wauwatosa News and the Wauwatosa Times (merged into the Wauwatosa News Times in 1948) and later Wauwatosa NOW (founded in 2007) – covered the Wauwatosa School District. Correspondents attended everything from sporting events to school board meetings and kept residents informed. As local newspapers have consolidated or become insolvent, it’s hard to find an impartial summary of school board meetings that can often last well over three hours.

This website strives to summarize school board meeting recordings succinctly by utilizing the strengths of conversational AI. It won’t take the place of a local newspaper correspondent writing weekly briefs of school board meetings but will hopefully provide value to Wauwatosa residents engaged in their children’s education. Those interested in additional context can follow the links in the meeting summaries directly to the relevant portion of each meeting's YouTube recording.
