The boards decision not to go to the public for a levy this year, due to the then breaking Dispatch story about the Tankovitch data scrubbing - that bill comes due with a thud!

OK - catching up from being on vacation.

The $100,000.00 dollar lawyer strikes again!  Lies, more lies and damn lies! If there was a "policy" at CCS to withdraw students with 10 days of absences, I would have written and distributed the report! THERE WAS NO POLICY! All the "scrubbed" students were hand picked by Tankovitch to maximize impact for the district - not according to some imaginary "policy". The proof is finding out how many students with passing test scores and 10 days of absences were withdrawn - very few!

After viewing her press conference, Gene deserve a "Pants on Fire" award!
