GREAT ACCOUNTABILITY IDEA
GETTING MEDIA PLAY
My esteemed colleague Peyton Wolcott of Texas is interviewed on this webcast on her idea to ask school districts to publish their checkbooks online, for accountability and "transparency" in how they're spending our money. Wouldn't have to be fawn-cy; a simple listing of date, who to, what for and the amount would do. Then we'd have a shot at finding out stuff like sending four school psychologists to the same convention in Boca Raton (!!!) at a cost of $2,000, instead of sending just one who could report back to the others.
See the Oct. 19 interview, split into sections of a few minutes each:
