Who does the talking

Greg Brown or Kristina Wheeler spoke the most of the 4 members we rank on the Carmel Clay Schools board; the ranges can't say which

Minutes speaking per full board meeting · 11 board meetings, Apr 15, 2026 – Sep 23, 2026 · talk time only, never tone or stance

A ranking, with its marginEach rank is a 90% range across 11 resampled meetings, so "2nd–4th" means the data can't place them more exactly. The ranges may widen as we name more of the speech.
Coverage: about 89% of members’ speaking time named (73%–89%)

Minutes = time we heard them speak per meeting, from the speech we have named so far, so each is a floor: at least that much.

What Jennifer Cashin said on Aug 12, 2026

In order to even get anything out of it that is usable and reliable is you have to be really critically thinking as to what inputs need to go in. And that is something to also teach your students, that it's not just writing a 1-sentence prompt.Jennifer CashinBoard member · Carmel Clay Schools Board of Trustees · Aug 12, 2026Watch the full meeting from 2:11:17
