The Atlanta Board of Education plans to begin showing live online video of its monthly meetings starting Monday.

The school board's committee of the whole meeting, which starts at 2 p.m., and its legislative meeting, which begins at 7 p.m., will be streamed through a website called Livestream.com at http://on-ajc.com/Shd4ll.

The online video won’t include the board’s often feisty public comment period, when anyone can sign up to speak to the board about education issues.
