A little further down on the webpage, is this quote:



All I can say is... WOW!
Does Wake have a financial disclosure process for board members as it relates to gifts and gifts over a certain amount?

Has there been any discussion about the potential loss of accreditation and other current issues on Wakes ability to still participate in Race To The Top funding?

And this from the post:

No. He lost his job because he decided to quit his job. Where is Mr. Tedesco's personal responsibility in this matter?

Does the Wake GOP think we all have short attention spans?

I too would really like to know if it is legal for him to accept gifts as an elected public official. I'm sure someone is already looking into that, hopefully anyways.

I thought about this but never mentioned it. Maybe I was scared saying it aloud would make it so. It's kind of crazy that after winning funding throught at competition the capital county has all this going on.

From the WCPPS Handbook:

3243 Gifts to Employees 3243
School employees shall not accept cash gifts. School employees shall not accept any other gifts, except token gifts of insubstantial value; provided however, that school employees shall never receive or accept any gift, reward, gratuity, or other compensation from any manufacturer, merchant, dealer, publisher, or author for influencing or recommending to the school system or any school that it use a seller’s goods, wares, merchandise, materials, supplies, services, or equipment.

State law can be found here:

GS_138A-32

I know -- my bad. I did (finally) close the 4th one after someone else pointed it out to me.

And (shhhhhhh!) let's not mention the dead threads lest someone bring them back to life.


FYI -- It's OK to copy/paste posts from those other threads into this one if you want to continue specific (local and on-topic ) discussions.

I don't envy you having to maintain oversight of this topic

Another aspect of this as it relates to RTTP involves the boards continuing committment to the principles of the states application. The fact that senior state and federal officials have raised questions isn't a good sign.
