It examined the school district's website prior to that date for information regarding; taxes, the current budget, meetings, school board members names and terms, contracts, audits, public records information and more. Comment posted 11/2/2014 - "The web site has undergone considerable changes as have most web pages and much of the information that was listed as missing is now there. This "F' grade is no longer a valid measure and should be ignored. It would be incumbent on the Commonwealth Foundation to retract comments based on this document - which cannot be found on the web."〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=The Pennsylvania Project )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「West York Area School District」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
