The Atlanta Board of Education is considering ways to make its work more accessible to the public, such as moving meetings to times when more people can attend and streaming meetings over the Internet.

Monthly board meetings begin at 2 p.m. and can last until 10 p.m. or later, and one idea discussed would move the beginning part of the meeting — the board’s work session — to an evening in the prior week.

The proposals by board members Cynthia Briscoe Brown and Jason Esteves were referred to committees for further consideration.
