SB 413 - School Board Transparency

SB 413 enhances government transparency by requiring school boards to publicly disclose meeting minutes, individual member votes, and adopted resolutions online within a week. It mandates recordings of all meetings, giving taxpayers direct access to how decisions affecting public education and budgets are made. By streamlining access to this information, the bill reduces reliance on public information requests, saving time and resources for both citizens and local governments. This transparency helps taxpayers hold elected officials accountable. For these reasons, TFR supports SB 413.
