Use of Historical analysis to track efforts to improve transparency:

The district's website includes various historical analyses used to track its efforts to improve transparency such as a five-year history of revenues and expenditures, a five year history of tax rates, and multiple years of the adopted budget and the annual financial reports. We have continued to expand the district's financial transparency website and will continue to add items that will assist in the district's goal of absolute transparency.
