Featured Website: Jeffco Public Schools - Financial Transparency

Here's a great example for what school district district financial transparency can look like. The Jeffco Public Schools district in Colorado has gone far beyond what many school districts are doing in terms of financial transparency.

Rather than just posting their check registers in pdf form, the district has created a comprehensive database detailing information for (at this point non-employee) expenditures.  Searches will yield quite detailed information on what the schools have purchased and from whom, and the website is updated on a monthly basis. 

Check it out, and tell your school board that you think your district should join Jeffco in providing a similar level of transparency!
