>MOSCOW -- The Moscow School District facilities planning committee is the
>recipient of the Max Dalton The People First! award, sponsored by the Idaho
>Newspaper Foundation.
>
>The award recognizes people and groups who combat government efforts 
>against
>openness.

>Susan Mahoney, chairwoman for the planning committee, nominated the group
>for its work in putting together a plan to remodel and upgrade Moscow
>schools.
>
>The $29 million bond levy to implement the plan was defeated by voters
>Tuesday.

>"Overall, we feel that in the past two years the Moscow School District
>facilities planning committee has far exceeded the Idaho open meeting law 
>in
>their encouragement of public input, advertisement of regular and special
>meetings and distribution of meeting notes and information following each
>meeting," Mahoney wrote in her nominating letter.
>
>Scott Straubbar of Hummel Architects of Boise, the firm that put together
>the school plan, said in 20 years he has "never seen a school district be 
>so
>publicly open in their facility planning process."
