The topics of this evening's DISD Finance Committee were: "the audit is being delayed 2 more months" but the good news is "there is no money missing."

Superintendent Michael Hinojosa made it clear that the reason the audit is being delayed is that District employees are having trouble with the District's Oracle-based accounting system. This, in turn, is causing problems providing the information to Deloitte and Touche--resulting in (now) 5 months of delays.

Our question would be: if the District can't run its own accounting system, and the claim is being made that there's no money missing, how can you tell?

Where so great a number of public officials are misrepresenting the facts and contorting to keep from the public the factual truth then it is a violation of civil rights.

Quote from the UDHR, Adopted and proclaimed by General Assembly resolution 217 A (III) of 10 December 1948
(Look it up, we should all know and respect this document)

Article 26; para(2) "Education shall be directed to the full development of the human personality and to the strengthening of respect for human rights and fundamental freedoms. It shall promote understanding, tolerance and friendship among all nations, racial or religious groups, and shall further the activities of the United Nations for the maintenance of peace."

Let's see, how does this relate? Here's how: DISD has violated civil rights because the "group" has created a situation in which DISD has been disrespectful, by lack of respect for our right to public information which is assembled under the control and constraints of DISD authority, but which has been improperly managed to a point now that there is no reasonable method to present the factual status to the public at large. DISD has not promoted understanding, mainly because DISD treats situations with intolerance and lack of developed public friendship to maintain the peace. DISD is subliminally teaching our children that public authority is granted waiver to responsibility, such to an extent that DISD deceptive trade and practice is now expected to be tolerated and without question. This sounds like a tyrant leadership mentality, a repeat of history. Unless, the public population stands on firm belief that our Human Rights must prevail and immediately seeks remedy.

There is but one solution, and it is not to continue a debate.

Just my opinion and direction.

[Ed Note: So you're suggesting...]

Enough Is Enough!

The audit will be terrible; but, it's only "mismanagement" not "fraud". Trust Us.

We made a $52 million dollar mistake but it's OK. Trust Us.

Hinojosa hired a personnel director with a questionable (unethical) past but it's OK. Trust Us.

Hinojosa hired Mr. Anderson as the chief business officer but he is not knowledgeable enough to fix business services. He needs $5 million dollars to bring in consultants to do so (wait, it's only $750,000). Trust Us.

Under Hinojosa, the number of low performing schools has sky rocketed. Trust Us.

Under Hinojosa, the number of reconstituted schools has doubled. Trust Us.

Board trustees, no matter how they spin it, have ties to companies that benefit from contracts with DISD. Trust Us.

Consider all of this...but trust us...give the Hinojosa administration over a billion dollars in bond money...

Enough! This administration has done enough damage to our district, to our children. Trust is not deserved...certainly, handing over huge amounts of money to this group, headed by this superintendent, remains the single largest mistake that could be made by the taxpayers in Dallas.

They are probably missing money because at Samuell we are burning up no air hot some time hotter the outside so who ever got that money please return it so we can get so cool air here at Samuell.

[Ed Note: Huh?]

I was in another of my many meetings this morning when another member of our committee popped in on their way to yet another meeting and asked " What have you heard about Dr. Hinojosa's secretary who stole $92,000 but didn't make the news"?

None of us had an answer. Any fire with this puff of smoke?

There has to be money missing because no one paid back what was spent on the P-card scam.

Dallas County uses Oracle finance system and it works fine. DISD does not have a clue about it's finance. They pay ghost employees, pay invoices for unauthorized purchases, pay over time and monthly stipend to employees that do not earn them. How can Dr. H say there is no money missing?

VOTE NO ON BOND!
