Psycho Posted January 12, 2007 Report Share Posted January 12, 2007 UNADDRESSED CORRUPTION AT THE DCPS I have always held that District tax payers were the victim of their tax dollars ear marked for keeping our schools up-to-date never being spent on what they were intended for, but purposely misappropriated. This has been true for the past twenty years. In other words, corruption at our DC Public Schools has run rampant for two decades and there has not been a single outcry from any of our mayors or our city council members over it. To the contrary, all have turned a blind eye to it and have only offered to raise taxes to get done what we have already paid for. I am not in favor of Mayor Fenty taking over our schools as he will make the situation worse. Yet, Fenty and many council candidates deceived voters into voting for them over the school issue knowing that the odds that the US Congress will hand it over to them is as likely as I winning the Powerball Lottery. There is/was good cause why the US Congress did not want our mayor or city council to have such authority when they set down the DC Home Rule Act. The DC School Board has done a lousy job of over-seeing the administrators of our schools including Victor Reinoso, Fenty’s choice for Deputy Mayor for Education. Reinoso has been all mouth and no action just like Fenty. Until we weed out those crooks over in administration at the DCPS, clean house among our school board members and our mayor and city council stop looking the other way and lying to voters as to the real cause and solution to our school problem, nothing will really change!

Luke_Wilbur Posted January 12, 2007 Report Share Posted January 12, 2007 Who would you put in to administrate the school system? What additional changes would you make? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Psycho Posted January 12, 2007 Author Report Share Posted January 12, 2007 I am inclined to allow Robert Bobb to make the choices Luke as I think he is the best qualified person to pick our superintendent and to assist in adminsitering policies and programs. Who would you put in to administrate the school system? What additional changes would you make? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
