Pa. Schools Now An Open Book



All union contracts, tax rates and the salaries of every public school district employee in Pennsylvania are now on-line at a easy-to-use, one-stop site.

The project is designed to provide a year-by-year tally of property taxes, and allowvisitors to determine how much taxes have risen -- or, in some rarecases, fallen -- over the past decade.

The site is openpagov.org and a direct link to the school information can be found here.

Commonwealth Foundation is the manager of the site.

Kudos to Commonwealth Foundation.

    Don't need them to tell me public school teachers are overpaid. I just have to look at my tax bill.
    Vouchers. school choice and home-schooling, there-in lies the solution.

      In this economy I don't even know what overpaid means.  Maybe overpaid means having a job where you can get medical coverage, housing, food and transportation and can afford to send your kids to college.  Since 1969 real wages have been going down.  I just thank God that someone is being paid as well as my father was in the 60s when he was working at a chemical plant.
