Another school system transparency law violation

The Courier-Journal reports that the Kentucky Attorney General’s Office just hit the Jefferson County Public School District with an Open Records Law violation for not making public information available in accordance with the law.

This adds to a growing list of violations of the state’s transparency laws by various education agencies which even includes an Open Meetings Law violation last year by the Kentucky Board of Education.

Maybe it’s time to put some real teeth into the laws for those in state agencies who chose to ignore the requirements for them to be transparent to the public.
