School District Transparency
To promote transparency of school business and to ensure that community members have pertinent information, school districts are required to post a number of documents and publish specific information for easy access. If there is any information that you think is missing from this list, please contact Eva Craner cranerev@tfsd.org.
American Rescue Plan
All school districts receiving federal coronavirus relief funds are required to post, and update every six months, a safe return to school plan. Additionally, these school districts are required to post information about how the district has determined it will spend the federal funding.
Collective Bargaining Agreement
Each year school districts across the state collaborate with teachers to establish the contract for teachers in that district. In the TFSD this process typically starts in May and information about negotiations meetings will be posted in news section of the home page. Additionally, the TFSD makes the current year’s collective bargaining agreement available to all stakeholders.
Financial and Expenditure Documents
Idaho Code 33-357 requires school districts to develop and maintain a publicly available website with expenditure information, including vendor and personnel contracts, budgets, audits, and monthly expenditures. These documents are updated on a regular basis as the information becomes available.
School Board Documents
All school board documents are public records and the TFSD maintains a website to make these documents easily accessible to the public. This includes board meeting agendas, minutes, and background packets. Different types of documents are made available on different schedules. If you are having trouble finding the document you are looking for, contact the Clerk of the Board, Michelle Lucas, at lucasmi@tfsd.org.
Continuous Improvement Plan
Idaho Code 33-320 requires school districts to develop an annual continuous improvement plan that is made publicly available. Here in the TFSD we call this a Strategic Plan and utilize a five-year-long planning process.
Title IX
All school districts are required to publish information about their Title IX policies, Title IX coordinators, and training that those dealing with Title IX issues undergo.
State Report Card
Idaho school districts are required to post links to the State Department of Education’s Report Card for their district. This report card provides a number of data points about our school system.
