Your school district, in public.

Every public school district files what it raises and what it spends with the federal government, publishes who sits on its board, and puts its funding questions to its voters. We put all of that on one page, in plain language, free to read — because almost everything on it was decided at a meeting anybody was entitled to attend.

My own district

What it spends and on what, who the board is, and which questions here have not been settled yet.

Two districts, side by side

The same figures for both, on one standard page, with a plain note wherever the two cannot honestly be compared.

What you get, free

The dollar, three ways. As reported, adjusted to a common price level, and again with transport stripped out — because a district that buses across 900 square miles is not overspending on classrooms.
Where it goes. The full spending breakdown by function, as a chart you can actually read.
Who decided it. The board that sets the budget, the calendar and the attendance boundaries, named from the district's own page, with the link it was read from.
What is still open. The funding measures a district has put to its voters, and — where there is one — the election that has not been held yet.
What we refuse to show. We do not compare test scores across state lines, because the states use different tests and different passing marks. We say so on the page instead of quietly doing it anyway. We do not rank districts, and we do not score them.
