The Rocky Mountain News isn’t alone in backing school district financial transparency. The Denver Post also came out today with a supportive editorial:

School districts already have an endless to-do list, such as transporting our children, feeding them, sometimes tending to their health care needs and, oh yes, educating them.

But taxpayers deserve to know how their money is being spent, and the Internet allows for that transparency.

Plus, as comparable websites have popped up across the country — with more and more states putting their checkbooks online — we’re finding that not only are the costs minimal, in many cases the sites have saved the states hundreds of thousands of dollars.

Read the whole thing. It’s great to see both major Denver daily newspapers voicing their support for greater transparency from school officials: After all, If you can’t defend it, don’t spend it.
