A Calgary Board of Education trustee is pushing for greater public
disclosure of expenses of elected officials and top managers, but the
issue won’t be debated until October.
At a board meeting Tuesday
evening, a simple item on where trustee remuneration should placed in
the larger governance policies turned into a testy sparring match over
meeting procedure between Trustee Sheila Taylor and board chairwoman Pat
Cochrane.
Taylor had hoped to talk about greater disclosure of expenses.
Currently,
trustees and senior officials disclose on the board financial
statements the total amount they have expensed. However, details of who
spent on what is not made public.
