activity first  Let's talk about government waste - have you
seen what the Recovery School District spent on setting up its
"central office" from 2006 to 2009? Its in the neighborhood of
$100 million - but we'll never really know b/c there is zero
transparency at the RSD when it comes to finances. Remember when
Vallas took $18 million from insurance proceeds? Where did that
money go? All of the Federal re-start money that was supposed to
go to children was spent on Paul Vallas, Paul Pastorek and their
friends, I mean consultants, with nothing to show for it. At
least OPSB passed the re-start money on to the schools - which
is part of the reason why Algiers has $10 million in the bank
and most of the other OPSB charter schools have bank accounts
topping $2 million.
