There was a recent comment on the website that I thought was very interesting and needs to be brought to the forefront.Â
Um, is anyone aware that the board is no longer paying the schools bills?
They have put a freeze on paying vendors until the next board meeting on January 9th, 2007.That means a LOT of people and companies are not happy as they didn’t get paid before Christmas and therefore didn’t get to buy gifts for their children, or pay their own bills. I know, as I am one who hasn’t been paid.
This freeze was made with NO NOTICE at all to the vendors, and from what I have learned from school officials, it is causing SERIOUS problems.
This is a completely outrageous action of the board to do, and I wonder if they are violating contracts by not paying people who have performed work and billed them properly.
I would not be surprised to see some lawsuits result from this. It is definitly going to hurt the schools which is a terrible thing to happen due to the boards irresponsible behavior.
I’m interested in hearing from anyone that can verify or invalidate this claim.
