Citizens For Balance and Integrity our School District (CFBISD)

The purpose of CFBISD Network is to bring balance and greater Integrity to our school district, Carrollton Farmers Branch Independent School District. One Dictionary defines balance as “a state in which various parts form a satisfying and harmonious whole and nothing is out of proportion or unduly emphasized at the expense of the rest.” Balance in a school district requires that all parties: parents, teachers, students, administrators, and others have an opportunity to influence the governance of the school district.

Cost Saving Transparency

Interesting article on how local governmental entities can cut costs by being more financial transparent. http://www.texasahead.org/texasrising/tr0908/transparency.html

The State Comptroller now reports that :
Eighty-six of the state’s more than 1,000 school districts have posted their budget, financial report and check register online. Of the remaining school districts, 760 have posted the fiscal 2009 budget and 287 post a check register. Total of 373 school districts post their check registers on online--close to 40%.

The has come for Carrollton Farmers Branch ISD to become an innovator and leader in financial transparency.
