GOVERNMENT: SeeThroughNY.net posts Madison County School Contracts

Website Includes Updated Teacher and Superintendent Contracts . Updated school labor contracts for eight teacher unions and four school superintendents in Central New York were posted today on http://www.seethroughny.net/, the Empire Center’s government transparency web site.The updated records include teacher contracts from the Chittenango and Hamilton districts and the new superintendent contracts for Morrisville. The newest contacts (most have a July 1, 2009, effective date) are part of the most comprehensive public collection of school district labor contracts in New York....SeeThroughNY also offers searchable databases of complete employee payrolls for the state government, New York City, public school districts and 19 public authorities; a breakdown of $148 million in legislative pork barrel projects; operations spending by the state Senate and Assembly; and a benchmarking tool to compare local government spending on a per-capita basis........Just wondering why Brookfield's Business Manager's salary was not included. The Superintendent's salary was included along with a copy of the contract. The Business Manager's contract was there, but no salary amount even listed in the contract. One would think that would be an important thing to include.
