Transparency

The School Board should engage and communicate with the stakeholders in a clear and timely manner.  They should be open, honest and trustworthy.  For example, you take the time to put together your issue, work on it to be within the 2 minutes allotted to you, fill out the required form and show up at the board meeting.  You are nervous and stand up there and state your case looking for help.  What you receive in return is somewhat of a thank you and nothing more than a form letter sent back within 10 days.  This response on a form letter is not achieving "Transparency".   The School Board of Trustees should hear you and respond to you.  Responding to Public Information 
Requests with fully redacted material is not achieving "Transparency".   It is time for big changes:

•  Provide and promote data access and use
• Build and maintain stakeholder relationships
• Actively cultivate and model a culture of Transparency
