If the public is "to participate more [in government] than just via the ballot box, then they need proper access to information"

I strongly believe in having an open, honest and transparent school board. To be truly accountable to the voters, we need to share the information which helps the HRSB to make any decisions. This will hopefully lead to a better understanding of the thought process behind any significant strategy decisions and a better relationship with stakeholders in the schools and at homes.


I think the informed voter should be able to access this information as it will demonstrate some of the process behind decisions.
