Indian Prairie Board Goes Paperless, Increases TransparencyIndian Prairie School District 204 is set to launch BoardDocs, a new online tool that increases the transparency of the Board of Education's work and provides enhanced communication with the community. Beginning August 31, meeting agendas and supporting documents will be available online for the community. In addition to increased public access, this software also increases efficiencies by reducing the cost and time associated with producing paper copies. The online distribution of board materials replaces the old method of compiling, printing, binding and distributing a limited number of paper documents for each board meeting. Through the board's website at board.ipsd.org, the public will have unprecedented access to information that board members review to make decisions. This access will allow community members to view information prior to a meeting and see what action was taken by the board after a meeting. Documents are automatically archived and accessible by meeting date or by using the comprehensive search feature. Board members look forward to providing this new online system to the community. "We are pleased to provide open and transparent access to board materials and hope the public will take full advantage of this new resource," Board President Curt Bradshaw said.

I am happy to see this finally coming out. I can't quite remember but I think this was approved by the board close to a year ago. Going to make going to SB meetings far more interesting. There are many times I have wondered what the heck they were talking about.
