Abstract	A Web site can be the unifying force among schools with in a district. Many approaches work. Anyone who examines a few school district Web sites will appreciate the variation in content and design each provides. For example, Des Moines Iowa Public Schools, a district in which many in the community speak a second language, provides Web content in both English and Spanish to keep parents informed. Sue Palfrey, Webmaster for the Falmouth School District in Maine, indicated that its site showcases student writing, art, newspapers, and communications from principals and provides K-12 learning outcomes in all curricular areas. The district posts committee agendas and minutes. This article covers the following topics: Scientifically Based Research; Standards and Accountability; Performance Data; and Professional Development. It concludes that having a school district Web site is no longer an option. It is the accountability vehicle by which educators can demonstrate to the community that their students are achieving and that they are using effective policies, practices, programs, and products to ensure that success. It has become the communication tool by which they can help parents understand legislation affecting their educational decisions and to engage parents in the education of their children. Stakeholders are well aware it takes interest, time, funding, available technology, and adequate staffing to design and maintain any Web site. A brief list of resources is included. (ERIC).
