Board Transparency

From schoolboardtransparency.org

This is the work of Sunshine Review, a coalition of organizations committed to open records and transparency in government. Earlier this month it published an online assessment of how Pennsylvania school websites rate by various transparency standards.

[NOTE: Bill Farrell and Jack Buckman do not have email addresses listed because they do not use email. They should have email addresses that point to a central location so that mail to them can be printed and included in their packets. It's OK that they do not have email. It's not OK that they are potentially out of touch.]
