Public interests at stake at Jimmy Carter Middle School

The public has an interest in Jimmy Carter Middle School. If nothing else, they have a financial interests. They are paying tax dollars for education that is not taking place. Every student who doesn't not gain one year educationally every year, costs tax payers as much as $10K per year, down the drain.

Then there are APS' lawyers.

Modrall, or Brad Winter's wife's law firm, or some other one's spouse's law firm making a killing with litigation for APS, stands to make boot loads of money "defending" APS over teachers "allegedly" having sex with students, teachers "allegedly" having assaulted students, and who knows what else? tax dollars appropriated for the "education" of our children by unwitting taxpayers, enriching lawyers and law firms instead.

The will run up billable hours as far as they can, and then settle with some agreement where the victims get more tax dollars, and the incompetent or corrupt administrator or board member gets left out of the record. They are making so much money off taxpayers, that they will not surrender their records to public inspection. They are making so much money off litigation, that APS' insurers raised our premiums to cover extraordinarily large amounts of expense litigation.

Taxpayers could loose millions of dollars at Jimmy Carter Middle School alone, and no one will tell the truth about what is going on there. The District won't even survey, and if they did, they would hide the results. The Union appears uninterested in collecting the truth. Where else can stakeholders turn for help in getting an independent review of the problems at JCMS?

Board Member Paula Maes said she would "never agree to any audit that individually identified" corrupt or incompetent senor administrators or board members.

And no one on the board or, in the senior administration, will stand up to her.



And the Journal of course, knows nothing.
Just like their readers.
