cbs2.com - Follow-Up: LAUSD Credit Card Paper Trail (broken link)

Did everyone get a chance to hear about this scandal? Here's an excerpt:

$995 for a mattress. Another $995 for a company that produces video games. $995 for flowers. We found charges for fishing tackle...stuffed animals...purchases at Bed, Bath and Beyond.

i posted a link to this story when it broke last week. no one seemed interested. school districts are hotbeds of waste and corruption, but i don't think people want to know that. i guess it's more comforting to think that the people who run schools are all angels of mercy who have nothing but educating kids on their minds. ignorance is bliss?

Default boiling mad !

well next on our list of ridding the world of dictators (present establishment NOT excepted) is to topple LAUSD or at least hack it into more managable, over - see - able school communities. Our area is fit to be tied with LAUSD and their inability to hire / retain a decent plumber so , to say the worst, our Middle School Girls can use the restroom as neeeded at that oh so embarrasing time of the month. Currently they are restricted to "nutrition " and "lunch" with which to do their business. Otherwise LOCKED OUT . What MS girl wants to cause an even greater scene by having to go ask the office staff to open a bathroom just for her as she ends up missing like 30 minutes of class just to do so !

Outrageous.

We are organizing tho. Cool heads must prevail but ya know such a monstrocity as LAUSD takes advantage of the fact that they hold our children and our money hostage and with that when we explode at such ridiculous conditions as that stated above they can write us off as hysterical parents if we don't play our cards right.
All in good time.
