FY11: AMEX bill UP $313K

Here's how the Board of Education spent some of your tax dollars in Fiscal Year 2011. 
This is not a complete list of expenditures. This is only vendors where payments were made over $25,000, as required to be made public by the Maryland Funding and Transparency Act. 
For fun, take some of these vendors' names and see if you can find evidence of them in Board of Education minutes showing votes approving this spending. Some of them will show up, others won't.

The highlighted vendors are just to pick out a few that might be of interest...
Let us know what you find of interest on this FY11 list. (FY10 list can be found here.)
