CdA Schools Fail Transparency Test

Item: District gets 'F' on public access: Cd'A schools criticized by statewide group for not putting contract online/Maureen Dolan, Coeur d'Alene Press

More Info: A watchdog group has given the Coeur d'Alene School District a failing grade when it comes to taxpayers' ability to easily access and review the district's contract with the local teachers union. Coeur d'Alene was one of 34 Idaho local public education agencies to flunk a master agreement transparency test, according to a report released Tuesday by the Idaho Freedom Foundation. ... The Lakeland School District received an "A" rating. That district's master agreement was posted online, and the Post Falls District received a "B" because it provided an electronic copy following a telephone request.

Question: Are you concerned that the Coeur d'Alene School District failed the transparency test of the Idaho Freedom Foundation?
