You have got to be kidding! It was at Greiner or Sunset, I was told, he never was in the classroom and never looked at the teachers planners. There is a big can of worms when you look into his background. Many around the district are willing to tell stories. He's not doing much for the schools in his areas. It's alot of hot air, tell you what you want to hear, but listen to what he does say, then call him on it, then his tune changes. At Greiner, he spent 85,000 with his P-card in 5 months. Check out his other purchases. He was, I believe the 89th spender out of the Top 100 in the district. What were his consequences ?? With dealing with him concerning Hill Middle School, I was faced with lies and inconsistencies. Don't be fooled with his smile and somewhat charm. I was not going to give up. That's the district way, to wear you down, put you off. I still say the district needs more Area Sups for less # of schools, so they can do their jobs better. Don't listen to what the principals say, look at the schools, ask the teachers. Are they smiling ?? Don't please one, at the expenses of others, say and do what's right. Always remember there are policies there for a reason.
[Ed Note: Keep in mind that there were people who spent large amounts on their procurement cards that were, from the District's standpoint, "legitimate charges." Whether or not the public would approve (i.e. exotic art furniture and paintings, buying gourmet meals for staff, etc.) is another thing. But as long as there wasn't theft involved, he could have charged $850,000 and there wouldn't be anything the District could have done about it.]
