State Representative Brett Miller’s recent e-newsletter includes this information: “Making Local Education Costs More Transparent”
“Working to enhance transparency in local education costs, the House this week passed a bill to ensure the information remains available online. House Bill 1606 would make permanent a publicly accessible website, called SchoolWATCH, to show revenue and expenses for school districts, charter and cyber charter schools, and area vocational-technical schools. The SchoolWATCH database is modeled after the success of PennWATCH, a website that lists the expenses and revenue of state government. The bill now goes to the Senate for consideration.
“To access the SchoolWATCH data, visit PaSchoolPerformance.org, select a school district and click on the “View Fiscal Information” tab located under district information.”
