Below average graduation rates.  Below average CSAP scores.  Above average pay for teachers.  And Greeley Evans District 6 school board wants a mill levy override to raise an additional $16 million in taxpayer dollars.  They are supported by a citizens committee and the Greeley Tribune.

Neither group demands to see where or how the school district is spending the money it has right now.  If Greeley Evans District 6 wants more cash, then it should have the common decency to show taxpayers/stakeholders how their money is spent. 

That won’t happen.  In fact, District 6 school board member Bob Stack  was part of the massive K-12 education lobby that testified against SB 57 Public School Financial Transparency Act.

Colorado Spending Transparency (COST), another blog to which I contribute, has the perfect motto for this campaign: No taxation without information!
