COLUMBUS – Ohio Treasurer Robert Sprague today
announced that the Norton City School District (Summit County) has joined OhioCheckbook.com.
“Taxpayers expect public officials to operate in their best
interest,” said Treasurer Sprague. “This commitment to transparency gives
district residents a direct look at the decisions being made with their tax
dollars.”
The Norton City School District is the fourth school
district in Summit County to join OhioCheckbook.com. The
district’s online checkbook includes more than 32,500 individual
transactions that represent over $56.5 million in spending from January
2018 through September 2019.
“Norton City Schools considers the Ohio Checkbook a strong
tool for a continued connection to our supportive community,” said
Superintendent Dana Addis. “The district places a strong emphasis on
community engagement, so transparency and knowledge in the area of finance
is important to us. Our hope is that the Ohio Checkbook will further
increase the trust we have already established with the stakeholders of
Norton City Schools.”
Since its launch, OhioCheckbook.com has
garnered the interest of those hoping to learn more about how Ohio’s tax
dollars are spent.
