This is the design intention around requiring local and school board public committee meetings. But, of course, most of that transparency is pointless because of all the sidebar and backroom deals made between individuals and organizations so that the final outcome is always pre-determined by the time the public committee meeting is convened.
When I first began investing time into studying "crypto currencies" I though the so-called "smart contract" potential of Ethereum or others would win out by making transparent and permanently auditable every contract. However, it turns out that the only true way to do that is, like open source software, to decentralize and protocol every aspect of the system. Hence, OSS works, Bitcoin works, the husband+wife+kids works, but other systems continue to be captured by the powerful few and then abused.
(Yes, no systems are perfect, but some work reasonably well enough in this sin-soaked world while others get totally rekt continuously by the sinful.)

What are you speaking about? Commitees and such are there so politicians can discuss and be informed, before making a decision. I am very happy they do this. Otherwise they would decide based on what?
