by Superintendent Robert "Bob" Lewandowski Even though the School District has been paperless for the past three years, it is leveraging the power of the Internet to radically improve the governance process while saving time, taxpayer dollars and the environment. This new eGovernance initiative is a remarkably powerful, easy-to-use solution that enables the District to maximize the effectiveness of board meetings with increased transparency, providing a basis for better and more open communication with the public, while dramatically increasing productivity and saving thousands of dollars annually.
The
paperless meeting solution is a 100% Web-based service. By making
meeting agendas and supporting documents available on the Internet, St.
Ignatius Schools will be able distribute documents associated with board
meetings more quickly and efficiently, at a dramatically reduced cost
to the organization.
Electronic
distribution will not only save time and resources, but it will also
provide unprecedented public access via the St. Ignatius School’s Web
site to agenda items and other governing body-related information. This
process will allow interested parties to review information prior to
board meetings. All documents associated with the meeting are
automatically archived and can be accessed by meeting date or by using
the system’s comprehensive search feature.
The
new eGovernance features can be accessed via the District’s Web site at
http://web.stignatiusschools.org/ under the “School Board” tab, or for
direct access to the District’s Board Agendas go to: http://www.boarddocs.com/mt/sisd28/Board.nsf/vpublic?open.
We hope you find this new tool useful and informative.
