Layer 2: How the files are made
Each file is built from public records: board packets, the yearly audit, the state’s school reports and bond papers. Each page that uses a file says where the numbers came from.
Layer 3: Rules for the files
- No private names. Files about public comments, donors and our own work notes are not posted.
- Each file gets a “last checked” date.
What we don’t know yet
- Each file is still being checked before it is posted.
- We will update the “Used on” links as pages are finished.
