Field notes
The navigation groups coverage into practical public-finance categories, then offers a glossary for terms including growing loans, recapture and self-funded health plans. Its school-focused index also reaches beyond spending into enrollment forecasts, student outcomes, staffing and classroom capacity. The homepage says facts are checked against public records, though the supplied extract does not expose the records or explain the checking process.
