Peyton Wolcott, founder of the national online grassroots school district check register movement, will be on the radio in New Hampshire Saturday morning, May 10 to answer questions from radio hosts Dave Lambert and Skip Murphy regarding the rapidly growing movement.  "Almost 200 districts in 14 states in just 18 months, with $47 billion in annual transparency," says Peyton, who maintains the nation's only roster on her website, www.peytonwolcott.com.  Typical questions from superintendents include:  Is it too expensive for districts to post?  Will townspeople descend on the administration building in the dead of night with pitchforks and lanterns if superintendents put their checks online?  Will there be a need for expensive new technology and more personnel to answer all the questions?  "No, no, no, and no," says Peyton.  "We've had nothing but positive reports from districts who have taken this big step towards transparency.  Everybody wins:  District administrators and board members for showing their communities the wise stewards they are of their community's resources, and parents and taxpayers can see how and where the dollars are flowing."   Peyton will share specific examples of districts who have successfully posted their checkbooks online.
