AI meeting minutes for school boards.

Paste the link to your board meeting. Govably names every trustee by VoicePrint, formats every motion properly, and hands you the official board minutes in your district's style, ready for approval at the next meeting.

Write your minutes in minutes, not hours.

What you get

What school boards get from every meeting

One platform from recording to published minutes, with unlimited users for trustees, administrators and staff.

VoicePrint remembers every trustee

Govably keeps a VoicePrint for each trustee. Confirm a speaker once and they are named automatically at every meeting after. Each confirmation makes the VoicePrint more accurate, so you never re-label your trustees again.

Motions written out properly

Who moved, who seconded, the motion language and the vote with each trustee's name: ayes, nays and abstentions, formatted the way minutes are supposed to read. Failed, tabled and withdrawn motions are recorded too.

Reports, recognitions and public comment

Superintendent reports, student recognitions and public comment are all in the transcript, with unlimited speakers, and summarized in your format.

Minutes in your house style

Your headings, your motion language, your action lines. The minutes read like the ones you already file, and you edit them in a full document editor right in Govably, with no copying into Word.

A Client Success Manager who has written minutes

Your Client Success Manager has local government experience and has written minutes. They set up your format and your trustees, and stay with you, whether the minutes are written by a board secretary or a district clerk. We let actual intelligence check the artificial intelligence.

Public portal with searchable transcript

Publish the minutes, the recording and a searchable transcript to your public portal. Parents and residents click through the transcript to jump to that moment in the recording.

How it works

How Govably works for a school board

Paste a link

From recording to transcript, nothing to download.

Paste a link from YouTube, Zoom, Vimeo, Granicus, Swagit, TelVue, Cablecast or CivicPlus, or upload the file. Govably transcribes the whole meeting with unlimited speakers: trustees, staff, presenters and residents at the podium.

Speakers remembered

Your trustees are already named.

The first time, you confirm who is who. After that Govably names each trustee by VoicePrint at every meeting, and the VoicePrint gets sharper every time you confirm a speaker. Other tools make you re-label speakers every single meeting. Govably remembers them.

Finished minutes

Review the flagged spots, approve, publish.

Govably places each item of business on the meeting timeline, finds every motion, second and vote, and writes the official minutes in your house style. You review only the spots it flags and publish to your public portal.

FAQ

Common questions from school districts

Do we have to leave BoardDocs to use Govably?
No. Govably works alongside BoardDocs. Keep your agendas, packets and policies in BoardDocs, paste a link to your board meeting recording, and Govably writes the finished minutes and publishes them to your public portal. Your past minutes stay where they are today.
How does Govably tell trustees apart?
Govably identifies each speaker and keeps a VoicePrint for each trustee. Confirm a speaker once, and at the next meeting they are already named. Every confirmation makes the VoicePrint more accurate.
Can parents and the community find what the board decided?
Yes. Publish the approved minutes, the recording and a searchable transcript to your public portal. Anyone can search for a topic, click a line and the video jumps to that moment.
Does Govably fit our state's open meetings law?
Yes. Govably writes minutes that carry what your state's open meetings law asks for: attendance, each motion, who made and seconded it, and how every trustee voted. Your Client Success Manager, who has written minutes, sets up your format with you.
Is there a per-user charge?
No. Govably includes unlimited users, so every trustee, administrator and staff member who needs access has it. You get clear pricing on your first demo.
Can you show us Govably on one of our own meetings?
Yes. After a quick demo, if you feel like it's a fit, we write minutes from one of your own meetings and go through them with you.
