How do we know this does not happen here? Oh me of little faith.

Click here: Broward school district ties with tech consultant questioned -- South Florida Sun-Sentinel.com

A long-standing relationship between the Broward school district and its top technology consultant underscores weaknesses in the school system's ethical safeguards, the South Florida Sun-Sentinel has found
"Board members are now asking about the relationships between the school system and vendors. Should former school district employees be allowed to work for vendors they dealt with as government officials? Should high-ranking district officials, including volunteers who sit on advisory boards, be banned from accepting free trips from vendors?"

I guess it is our faith in God -oops - leaders that this kind of stuff doesn't happen in a deep rooted system such as ours. Does the Tribune have investigative reporters similar to the South Florida Sun-Sentinel. Is there a watchdog group of any kind around here. Not that anyone should be policing the District, but just making sure there weren't any isolated incidents like this.

you have to read the comments - reminds me of the story - if there is horseshit in the stable and there is horseshit in the corral, there has to be a horse somewhere.
