School District of Philadelphia Budget - Data Liberation and Visualization
Stage
README
The School District of Philadelphia posts budgets for their schools on their website. However, this data is in PDF format and therefore cannot be easily used by developers and others interested in examining the budgets of schools in a programmatic fashion.
This project aims to do 2 things. First, convert the budgets to a RESTful API for others to use. Second, to visualize the budget data in a meaningful way for the community.
The code used to generate data for an API is available on https://github.com/philasdbudget/philasdbudget.
Producing visualizations is a continuing process. An interactive map and bar chart are currently being worked and can be seen in the repository.
