Meet MuniTrac at the 2025 MASC Conference
Each year, the Massachusetts Association of School Committees (MASC) brings together education leaders, administrators, and committee members from across the Commonwealth to share best practices, strengthen governance, and discuss the future of public education. This year, MuniTrac will be there, helping school committees discover how meeting automation can ease compliance and administrative burdens.
Challenge 1: Managing Minutes in Real Time
School committees often face backlogs when it comes to producing and approving minutes. Between long meetings and limited staff time, a task that should take an hour can stretch into days or weeks.
Drafting minutes manually from lengthy recordings can take hours per meeting
Agendas and transcripts are often scattered across systems, making review difficult
Delays in publishing minutes create compliance challenges and reduce public trust
With MuniTrac, that process is transformed — what once took hours can now be completed in under 30 minutes. Automated transcripts and agenda-linked minutes ensure accuracy, speed, and full transparency.
Challenge 2: Staying Transparent in a Fast-Moving World
School committees today face increasing expectations for transparency and communication. But even the most organized districts can struggle with outdated processes:
Digging through PDFs, email chains, or shared drives to confirm what was decided at a past meeting
Spending hours replaying recordings just to create accurate minutes
Responding to public record requests or media inquiries without a clear, searchable archive
Even the people running the meetings don’t always have a streamlined way to see what’s happening across their own committees.
At a time when communities expect accessible, detailed records, the lack of centralized tools slows down transparency, and strains the trust between school committees and the public they serve.
How MuniTrac Solves the Problem
MuniTrac was built specifically for Massachusetts municipalities and school committees to simplify meeting management and compliance. Some key features of MuniTrac are:
Interactive Transcripts
MuniTrac transcribes every meeting, from budget hearings to curriculum discussions, into a clear, searchable record. Every word is linked to its exact timestamp, allowing members to jump directly to motions, votes, or public comments without rewatching hours of footage.
Generated Meeting Minutes
Once the meeting ends, MuniTrac’s built-in tools generate detailed, speaker-attributed minutes. Clerks can review, edit, and publish with ease, cutting hours of manual transcription and ensuring every decision and discussion is documented accurately.
Seamless Web Integration
MuniTrac integrates directly with your district or municipality’s website. Agendas, minutes, and transcripts can be published automatically on a public portal, making it simple for residents to find and review the information they need without added staff effort.
Built for Compliance
Designed with Massachusetts Open Meeting Law in mind, MuniTrac ensures that meeting records are complete, accessible, and archived in accordance with legal standards. Compliance becomes automatic, not an afterthought.
Transparency That Builds Trust
Parents, educators, and residents can search, listen, and verify what happened in any meeting. By turning government recordings into accessible records, MuniTrac strengthens public trust and supports open, accountable governance.
Why School Committees Are Choosing MuniTrac
School committees bridge communities and their public schools. MuniTrac helps maintain that connection by ensuring every meeting, motion, and discussion is easily available to both staff and the public.
School committees are also choosing MuniTrac because it helps with workplace efficiency by generating minutes and creating an easily searchable portal of all meetings.
It’s more reliable than shared drives or scattered recordings, more comprehensive than public video archives, and fully aligned with Massachusetts Open Meeting Law requirements.
For districts large and small, MuniTrac brings structure, speed, and accountability to the work of transparency.
