I think the School Board should take back control of all of the schools. School based management is a joke. At faculty meetins we are told by the principal what she wants and then when asked to vote we are asked to show a sign of hands in the open so of course how do you think we vote. Exactly, the way she wants it becaue if you don't she get's mad and throws a fit. Do you think we are nuts? She is the one evaluating our performance at the end of the school year so of course we are going to vote in whatever she wants. And classroom walkthroughs are a joke. We are never shown the results, and they are used against you at your evaulation. We don't have not one bit of input into how our school is run. It is a dictatorship.

I hope she's O.K.. Sure is quiet.

Well I guess all those minorities and foreign kids won't be getting a leg up after all.Another case injustice all wrapped up in civil rights. Thanks to the Monroe County School District-Adult Education Department.All the money that was supposed to go to their benefit [allegedly] went to a thieves disguised as "do-gooders".So who was at the trough this time? If I were the FBI I would look at how the Even Start Program was administered in the past.I know that in 2004 the district partnered with Literacy Volunteers of America-Monroe County Inc. John Andola was in charge of Adult Education at the time.Mary Casanova was the Registered Agent of LVA.Eileen Quinn was the Treasurer of LVA.Do those names sound familair.I'd be auditing everyone especially that slippery acountant at LVA. Then look at the subsequent years for the Even Start grant.My guess is that about a million bucks was scammed since 2004.Mrs.Walker should stop worrying about the"return" on an investigation and have a public apology written out.She can read it at a press conferance while she explains why the district stole money thus taking advantage of the minorities of the community.She can also explain why her staff trampled on the U.S.Code "Crimes" Section.

At what point does the school board realize that they will never recoup the money that has been taken and stop spending even more money trying to recoup it? I would not spend a million dollars to recoup a half million. It doesn't make financial sense. Someone please explain it to me if I am wrong. Prosecute the one or ones involved and stop piling on and go back to being a school board and talking about children. It's been the same discussion for the past 6 months, I've had enough.

Channel 12: Palm Beach Gardens High School principal may face suspension in spending probe Palm Beach Post staff report Friday, July 03, 2009 The principal of Palm Beach Gardens High School faces a possible 20-day suspension after school district investigators alleged he improperly spent school money, WPEC Channel 12 reported today. CBS 12 said documents cited Jonathan Prince for "failure to properly control funds." He is accused of using school purchasing cards to make about $3,800 in unauthorized purchases, the station reported. The report said a school district investigation found the claims were substantiated. But it did not say what Prince allegedly bought or whether he is accused of personal gain. Attempts by The Palm Beach Post to reach schools superintendent Art Johnson, school district spokesman Nat Harrington, a North Area superintendent and Prince were unsuccessful. According to a school staff database, Prince, 39, joined the district in August 1993. He had been principal at Verde Elementary School in Boca Raton until he was transferred to Palm Beach Gardens in 2004. In 2006, Prince was recognized for improving the school's grade from a D to a B in two years. He was one of 14 Florida high school principals honored by the state's Board of Education. The school district now is constructing a new Palm Beach Gardens High School complex to replace the old building, constructed in 1966. It is set to open this summer. GET A CLUE MCSB
