Explore Civic Translator coverage
Browse the school boards, city councils, county boards, and other public bodies currently tracked by Civic Translator. Map colors identify the type of governing body: green pins are school boards, blue pins are city councils, and purple pins are county boards. Red pins indicate organizations where recent meeting or summary activity was not found.
How it works
We gather public agendas, packets, minutes, supporting documents, and recordings.
Automated tools identify major issues, financial matters, proposals, dates, and next steps.
Each eligible meeting receives a visual infographic and a detailed written briefing.
Consecutive regular meetings can be compared to reveal new topics, changed priorities, and unresolved issues.
Explore by issue
Browse public meetings by subject instead of searching one organization at a time. Topic pages bring together related discussions from school boards, city councils, county boards, and other public bodies.
