Ohio Treasurer Josh Mandel announced Wednesday, Feb. 10, the launch of the the Tecumseh Local Schools online checkbooks on OhioCheckbook.com.

In December 2014, Treasurer Mandel launched OhioCheckbook.com, which sets a new national standard for government transparency and for the first time in Ohio history puts all state spending information on the internet. OhioCheckbook.com recently earned Ohio the number one ranking in the country for government transparency.

The Ohio Treasurer’s office was joined at the announcement by Tecumseh Local Schools Treasurer Debra Schock.

Tecumseh Local Schools’ online checkbook includes over 41,000 individual transactions that represent more than $43 million of total spending over the past two Fiscal Years.

“The Board and Administration of Tecumseh Local Schools are committed to fiscal responsibility and transparency with our community,” said Tecumseh Local Schools Treasurer Debra Schock. “Signing on to OhioCheckbook.com allows us to reaffirm our dedication to those important principles at no cost to the district. We want to thank the Treasurer for offering this opportunity to further demonstrate our commitment to wisely managing the taxpayers’ investment in education and communicating important financial information to our community.”

On April 7, 2015 Treasurer Mandel sent a letter to 18,062 local government and school officials representing 3,962 local governments throughout the state calling on them to place their checkbook level data on OhioCheckbook.com and extending an invitation to partner with his office at no cost to local governments. These local governments include cities, counties, townships, schools, library districts and other special districts.
