Mystery Signatures Approve $3M Program
You don't have to give a hoot about the DC public school system to find today's Washington Post education story (A $2.9 Million Payout, With a Few Shortcuts)
worthwhile reading.
Full of juicy details, it describes how a former
DC principal started and grew a professional development program that,
for all its potential effectiveness, seems to have lacked any real
oversight or structure.
The district gave out big money without a contract, the approved program didn't mesh with other district efforts, the program founders fought internally and one ended up dropping a dime on the founder, and -- my favorite part -- current and former district officials are denying that approval signatures found on various documents are actually theirs.
