Fort Cherry SD to Transparency Honor Roll

The Fort Cherry SD (Washington County) has a clean, user friendly website.

The graphics on spending in the 2008-09 budget are clear, and the explanatory notes, which appear in boxes next to the charts, are helpful. (I found the data on PSSA results too colorful — distracting from content.) The explanation of the 2009-2010 preliminary budget is especially effective. I found it interesting that the budget access page provides an RSS feed for the 2009-10 preliminary budget — presumably to enable a district resident to be informed as the budget progresses toward final approval.

The annual Report to the Community focuses on test scores. It includes useful explanations of the differences among tests.
