Hard to imagine Texas edu-missioner Shirley Neeley's release this week of her inspector general's findings linking her friend Jimmy Wynn's grant-writing activities to TEA chief deputy commissioner Robert Scott as falling into the "kinder, gentler" tone she invoked when joining the agency in 2004.

| Not a PR pro? How to talk to your local school board & supe about putting your district's checks online By Peyton Wolcott Copyright 2007 Updated Mar. 28, 2007 Friends, a light bulb went off recently when an astute friend remarked, "You know, most grassroots parents and taxpayers aren't good at PR." This comment took me off guard, but do you know what? He was right. Many of our best volunteers are rational people, engineers and accountants and the like, who are used to an environment in which facts reign. |
| It takes us a very long while to understand that our public schools are essentially socialist models and their engine and currency is the realm of emotions and people skills. Further, our superintendents attend confer- ences and meetings where they learn how to develop their PR skills, and they hire well-paid PR guys and gals who are skilled in the art of public relations. This is the arena into which we step. Also, by the time most of us get to the point that we are interested in seeing how our district spends its money, there have been precipitating incidents. As another friend put it, "I just wanted to slug someone at that board meeting." This man is a genuinely decent human being and the comment surprised me-- but it's not the first time I've heard this from a parent. It wasn't always that way. Generally we start out assuming our dealings with our school districts will be a rational exercise. Most of us are volunteers and in addition to our taxes give generously to our children's schools. Then when we spend a lot of time there, we notice things. Years ago I myself felt sure that if I showed my local supe and board where money was being wasted in some areas and not adequately safeguarded in others that they would welcome this information with open arms and changes would be made on the spot. Hah! Imagine my surprise when they reacted as though to a personal attack when I was just trying to help. At this point we often start gathering hard data on our schools because we assume--also incorrectly, as it turns out-- that "someone" higher up is watching out. But the "someone" turns out to be us. We learn that our local schools have next to no real oversight; as just one example witness the two dozen state, federal and local governmental bodies and elected officials two moms in Texas contacted in their effort to bring their local superintendent to justice. Besides, to focus on spread sheets and flow charts to take to "someone in charge" is to focus on the wake of the wave and not the boat and the pilot. This is why I have come to the conclusion after years in the grassroot trenches that the best and most effective single step we can take to help our districts reign in costs and improve our vendor-driven curriculums in order to better educate our kids is to persuade our schools to post their check registers online. When we approach our districts, we have found there are some things we can do which are more effective than others. Like I tell my kids, go and make new mistakes--don't replicate mine. To make it easier for you to successfully ask your local district to put its check register online, I've just posted two new pages; the first walks you through the process, and the second is a flyer you can print as is, or you can copy and paste* the report sec- tion in the grey box on the left. I've done this successful- ly, and wouldn't recommend that you undertake something I haven't already done myself. If I can do it, you can, too-- and probably much better! |
| Our public schools are essentially socialist models and their engine and currency is the realm of emotions and people skills. |
| Oct. 1, 2006 was the start date of the National School District Honor Roll with four small school districts in Texas who'd posted their check registers online. We now have 56 districts either online or committed-- or where parents and taxpayers have begun asking. Districts are almost all saying "yes" immediately. Why? Superintendents and board members understand it's better to be on the beginning of this wave than in its wake. |

| a former Dallas ISD associate superin- tendent and tech executives, and given that in many of our school dist- ricts recent corrup- tion unearthed originated not with questions from board members or governmental officials but with public records requests by parents and taxpayers, we the undersigned ask you to veto HB 2564. This bill with its exemptions for certain classes of requestors has been written with the result that all requestors of public records will not be treated uniformly as required by the Texas Public Information Act.* |

| $38,00 missing and another PTA mom in trouble-- preventable? How? By Peyton Wolcott Mon., June 4, 2007/1 am |
| The headlines tell a too-familiar story: |
| Julie Ann Carr Shawnee Mission, Kansas Elementary PTA fund raiser chair |
| o Woman charged with stealing $17,000 from PTA o Woman who stole over $20,000 from PTA "forgets" check to pay it back o Woman Leaves Court To Cash Check, Never Returns o PTA mom turns herself in |

| The first amount mentioned was in the $17,000 range; by week's end it was $38,000; in many situations such as this, record keeping is such that it takes a while for those responsible for oversight to determine the exact amount. The solution It's simple and not at all glamorous: tighter internal controls, starting with at least two people counting cash at all fund raisers and at least two people both of whom are awake signing all checks--unlike too-trusting officers in Flushing, New York who signed blank checks for PTA president Laura AlQaisi, charged two years ago with mishandling $40,000-- $23,000 of it from candy sales. Similarly, PTA officers in League City, Texas signed blank checks over to Walter Hall Elementary PTA president and treasurer Monica Tidwell, eventually charged with taking $52,000. Often those involved are trusted members of the community; Tidwell's husband was a local city councilman. But what of Julie Ann Carr, the PTA mom/ fund raiser in Shawnee Mission, Kansas? |

| Marjorie P. Kaplan, Shawnee supe |

| When Julie Ann Carr finally returned to court Friday with her cashiers check, the judge sent her to jail, "saying that she tried to 'scam the court' and that her apology for stealing from the organization fell short....Carr, 40, will spend the next 30 days behind bars after pleading guilty to stealing thousands of dollars from Shawnee’s Bluejacket-Flint Elementary PTA. After that, she will be on probation for 11 months and will face six months in prison if she violates terms of the probation." (SOURCE--Laura Bauer/Kansas City Star) When an apology isn't About the apology to the community which the judge had found wanting, judge for yourself: |
| Dear BJF [sic] community: I want to apologize that through all of my efforts, energy, and excitement to make our students, teachers, staff and school a greater place, and extend programs to the children, my inability to keep accurate records was not acceptable. I want all of you to know our children were, and will always be, the first priority in anything I was asked to do or to help with. I have learned through this situation that being a volunteer is an important responsibility. I believe that not only have I learned as a person what to do or not to do, but our organiza- tion has created some finer guidelines for those of us who want to help our children and our school. Please accept my apology for my inaccuracies while trying to help. Sincerely, Julie Ann Carr |
| "Inaccuracies"? "Inability to keep accurate records"? Julie Ann Carr appears to not be the only party in denial. As almost always occurs, Shawnee Mis- sion School District appears to have also put its head in the sand; it's not mentioned among the 20 "Top Shawnee Mis- sion Stories" nor does the loss appear in Bluejacket- Flint Elementary's web news. And as so often also happens, the supe's name is not mentioned at all. |

| $306,000 missing in Arizona When Scottsdale USD (AZ) employee Janet Rice, who worked as an assistant to the district's attorney and had been employed in SUSD's risk management office office for the past three years, was arrested Friday for allegedly embezzling $306,000 from the district's school insurance trust fund to cover gambling debts, SUSD supe John Baracy was available for comment: "From November 15 to this last check, we found an elaborate scheme where she was forging signatures, doctoring financial records and copies of checks and intercepting bank statements." (SOURCE --Carol Sowers/Arizona Republic) Corrective actions by Baracy include "setting up a bank account that requires two signatures and a monthly audit by two different district officials." (Ibid.) |

| One of the signatures being forged was Baracy's own. As Ser- geant Mark Clark with the Scottsdale police department explains it, Rice wrote "fake checks on a school insurance trust fund, then depositing them into her personal bank account. She had forged her boss's signature, which was circumventing their internal controls." (SOURCE--KTAR-TV) Baracy grabbed headlines a few years ago for renaming his employees' job titles.

| and is also president of the Donna ISD school board, and Harlingen insurance agency owner Arnulfo Olivarez. Mr. Hernandez was arrested Tuesday; Mr. Olivarez was expected to turn himself in, officials said. "Mr. Hernandez and Mr. Olivarez are accused in the 22-count federal indictment of offering bribes that included payments of up to $210,000, Las Vegas trips, guns, prostitutes and $14,000 worth of tickets to the NCAA Final Four. " 'In a nutshell, we had millions of dollars at the disposal of trustees,' U.S. Attorney Don DeGabrielle said. 'The allegations in this indictment say that these people who are entrusted with this obligation failed miserably.' " But they were a "Team of Eight," right? Wonder if they went fishing much. |
| Who is this Rep. Kelly Hancock who has attempted HB 2564 on Texas parents and taxpayers and why is he against us--and where does he work? By Peyton Wolcott Thu., June 7, 2007/1 am Updated Sun., June 10, 2007, 2:08 am |

| Kelly Hancock |
| Kelly lists four companies on his official House of Representatives biography: |
| "Hancock’s extensive business enterprises with Advanced Chemical Logistics, Agvantage Farm and Ranch, HancockF Industries and CKC Trinity Investment has provided him with a prolific understand- ing of issues deal- ing with agriculture, real estate, environ- mental quality and regulated industry." |
| UPDATE: The listing for "Hancock Indus- tries, Inc." in Decatur, Texas with taxpayer ID #17515935488 is Kelly Hancock's family business. Although a search for "ACL" yields 61 results, none of them appear to be Kelly's company as I was unable to find his name listed under officers and directors for any of the 61; it's possible I made a mistake. When I contacted Kelly's office at the Lege this afternoon to learn more, including the name of Kelly's current company--and under what name might it be found at the Comptroller and Secretary of State--an aide responded that they "do not maintain those records." Huh? Where might they be maintained? Disappointing given that Rep. Hancock is the fellow who has attempted to curtail parents' and taxpayers' ability to access public records at their school districts with the writing of HB 2564. |
| Business Name Advanced Chemical Logistics was not found. Business Name Agvantage Farm and Ranch was not found. Business Name CKC Industries was not found. |
| Curious about the companies that could give a person a "prolific" understanding of any issues, I searched the Comptroller's online information bank and found the following information for the businesses listed above: |

| Kindergarten teacher survives the attacks of the Momzillas! By Peyton Wolcott Fri., June 8, 2007/10 am |
| Scenario: Presentation of year- end gift to teacher, Mrs. O. Locale: Upscale suburban Texas school district Date: Last week |
| It was the third email forwarded from a "Concerned Parent" over the presentation of a sterling silver charm bracelet, one from each child in the class, to their kindergarten teacher that grabbed my eye. Here's the series of escalating emails between Momzillas Room Chair JulieLee and Room Vice Chair Shea: |
| Hats off to Mrs. O. and all other teachers for surviving such end- of-year storms as this one, and here's hoping they enjoy their long summer vacations. And here's hoping they all enjoy their end-of-year gifts. |
| From: JulieLee To: Mrs. O. cc: All Kinder Parents Thurs., 5:09 pm Mrs. O., If you could please assist in this awkward situation tomorrow......by refraining from making any pronouncement about Jason Gould's party....or having the kids...talking about it....same for all the kinder parents.....wehave not told Little BillLee ......that his own kindergarten graduation party and teacher gift presentation have been deliberately taken over by people who have taken this whole thing holy out of all due portion....despite all the work we've done on this as a family.....my mom gave us a discount.....so it's three generations of our family in on this.... giving Mrs. O. her gift at a pool party is not the same thing as giving it to her at graduation....where ALL of the children can participate. Thank you. JulieLee & Family |
| From: Shea To: JulieLee Cc: Party Committee Wed 07:34 PM Subject: End of school gift Heads up, y'all! JulieLee's out of town -- what a shame she had to be gone during this all-important week in our kids' lives -- which is why she hasn't participated in our dialogue this past week regarding the presentation of Mrs. O's gift at our pool party for the entire class here at our house in Gated Entry Estates on Friday afternoon right after the graduation ceremony at school. Our committee made the right decision. Thanks, Shea |
| From: Superintendent BillLee Fitzmorton, Ed.D. cc: Mrs. O., all K parents Friday, 8:36 AM Dear Parents and Students, You are all cordially invited to attend our kindergarten graduation this afternoon at 2:00 pm in the Cafetorium. This will be the only school- sanctioned event. All kindergarten-related activities should be conducted at this event. I personally will attend to see some of my wife's handiwork. Many thanks to my daughter, JulieLee, for coordinating all of this in such a fine manner of which I am sure we can all be proud indeed....and to watch my grandson walk across the stage in cap and gown. For our children, Dr. Bill Lee |
| From JulieLee To: Party Committee cc: Shea Thurs 11:13 AM Hiya, everybody.....we just picked up Mrs. O's gift from my mom's store and little BillLee and I are bringing it to graduation tomorow.....so all our kiddoes can be part of the presentation to Mrs. O..... please know that we 100% respect the fact that this is a present from the children to Mrs. O........and they ALL should be able to celebrate.... I will take a picture of her with our gift......so you can all see how great it turned out..... My mom's store did such an awesome job......Shea, sorry, we will not be able to attend your pool party.... we have a previous engagement. JulieLee |
| From: Shea To: Party Committee cc: Mrs. O. Thurs. 1:19 pm JulieLee, we've already planned the pool party and Mrs. O. has agreed to come even though it's "after school". The whole class is invited as per ISD rules. Joe Montana* will be here to talk ball with the boys and we have a manicurist lined up for the girls plus Michael Buble* for the parents in the gazebo with wine spritzers. Please wait and bring the *SURPRISE* to the pool party. Repeat, do not bring the *SURPRISE* to school to the graduation party. Thks a bunch! Shea and Michael Gould |
