Union city officials are being reminded that using social media is complicated when trying to avoid Sunshine Law violations.City Administrator Jonathan Zimmermann said he started thinking about the topic after getting a Facebook friend request from an elected official. That made him think of what city officials need to be more aware of when using social media in general.“Would we have the potential to have multiple elected officials commenting on a topic, we’re creating a public meeting that’s unposted,” he said at a Sept. 8 meeting of the city’s personnel, finance and public works committee. “We just need to be aware of that and try to not participate in those types of events.” After the meeting, Zimmermann clarified that he hadn’t seen or heard of actual online discussions involving Union officials that violated open meetings laws but that he wanted to bring the topic before the committee, which consists of members of the board of aldermen, before it became a problem.Members of the city’s park advisory board, who are not board of aldermen members, also were warned to be careful about discussions they have online. The topic was raised at an Aug. 27 meeting when Parks Director Chad Pohlmann went over a smartphone app called GroupMe, which he said is a simple way for him to communicate with the park board. “The complication is we cannot get into discussion with questions and response, because that violates Sunshine laws of open meetings,” he told board members. “So, if we, as a collective, have a conversation in private as a quorum, that could get into issues with having a meeting that’s not open to the public.”Pohlmann said staff came up with the idea to use the app after having “technical difficulties” in communicating with board members through email.“It’s like a group text,…

Teacher calls online classes a nightmare amid pandemic A Marion County teacher's desperate plea prompted the school board to start a task force to ensure students get the best education they can during distance learning. MARION COUNTY, Fla. - A local teacher says online classes have been a nightmare. “What’s the point, right? What is the point? We are all ready to just quit.” It started with a post on Terry Kinder’s Facebook post. It was a video she shot one morning in her car outside the school where she teaches 7th-grade civics in Marion County.“It’s just never-ending,” she said in the cellphone video. I t was a tearful, weary plea for help in the age of virtual learning. The video and her letter to the school board gained traction and went viral.“I started getting messages from teachers around the world, like literally around the globe, saying this is exactly my story. This is exactly how I feel too,” Kinder told FOX 35 on Friday. That shared story includes technology issues with virtual calls and students not being fully focused at home.“I’ve had kids log in from the food court at the mall and then they’re walking around the mall with their family,” Kinder said.All of this led to her speaking at a school board meeting this week, where based on her story, the board proposed a task force.“Putting together and publicly, I’d like to ask Ms. Kinder if she would sit on that task force,” said one of the school board members at the meeting.Kinder told FOX 35 she’s glad something good is coming from her Facebook post and letter.“I’m at my breaking point where I’m ready to quit anyway. What’s the point of not saying something and at least trying?” Kinder said.She says the task force overwhelms her a bit with...
