ABOUT
About Rocky River Scoreboard
Rocky River Scoreboard's goal is to be a non-profit watchdog research organization to monitor the cost and performance of Rocky River City Government and Rocky River School District.
Rocky River Scoreboard will analyze data to provide an objective look at the city's progress, prepare public summaries and communicate findings to the public. The Scoreboard is intended to assist individuals, community organizations and media who may not have the resources or ability to analyze systematically the budgets or performance of existing local governments without technical assistance.
The major responsibility of city government is to create a climate for its residents to grow, prosper and live a good life safely. The responsibility of public schools is to prepare students with the skills needed to be productive workers and good citizens.
