    Plus, it is a good opportunity to speak with candidates face to face.

    School board members aporove collectiv bargaining agreements.

    Collective bargaining agreements account for the biggest cost in a school district, and school districts are the biggest piece of the property tax bill.

    Plus school boards are in need of more transparency:

    – videotaped board meetings,

    – pdf board agenda packets made available to the public and board members prior to the board meetings, that allow use of find, and copy and paste from the agenda packet to another document to consolidate information,

    – voter approved collective bargaining agreements,

    – collective bargaining agreement change document posted on the district website that have for instance underline text for additions, and stricken text for deletions, so the board member and taxpayer can easily identify changes to the proposed / new document,
