I know that this illegal dumping of confidential paperwork must happen all the time. I know of probably a dozen times that I've seen it, reported it and watched it go away with the recyclables without the slightest attention from DISD. Only when the News finds out do we see action. Is there a district policy? Is there funding for proper disposal?(Do we have shredders? Staff to shred years worth of documents?) Proper storage? (Many schools are short on space.) Proper security?(I've seen years worth of records stored in unlocked file cabinets on an unlocked stage more than once)
Sounds like that's standard operating procedure for this administration. Address a scandal only when the news finds out. Look at all of the scandals that we've seen of late. Do you think the good Dr. would have brought up P-Cards, a $52 million hole in the budget, unqualified CPAs, or a criminal Human Resources chief if it hadn't hit the news? I think not.
