Where have all the files gone?

Where have all the documents gone?
for some time missing
Where have all the documents gone?
Long time ago
Where have all the documents gone?
The board has hid them every one
When will they ever learn?
When will they ever learn?

[SP-EYE...with deep apologies to Pete Seeger]

Interested in reviewing information generated during the Boundary Wars? The high school planning process? Minutes of previous school board meetings? School board policies? Forget it.

The school district website has a page entitled, Search our Policies". But don't bother, because this directory appears to have been stripped of all information for several weeks now. Theoretically, once can even (and used to be able to) click on the "Browse Documents" tab and review all available documents.

Go ahead and try it. We've tried searching on common terms like "board", "minutes", "school", "high school", and "boundary"....words that surely should have resulted in at least one document. Sadly, searches resulted in: "Sorry, no matching documents were found".

We have approved funds for more electronic file storage space, more technology, and to develop a committee to "engage the public". And what have we received for all this? The removal of critical PUBLIC information that community residents may like to--and are entitled to-- review.

So...why has everything been pulled from the website??? Is it to make things more difficult for those that are investigating BS (Board Shenanigans)??? Hmmm...let's see....if someone wants that information, they'll have to request it and then come down to the district office to pick it up. That'll reduce the number of people interested in looking under the hood of the school board engine!!!
