And here is a snip from an email I sent on 8/3/2011, just prior to my "meeting" with Michele VanDyke, Cyndi Blake and Steve Tankovitch to shut down my "independent analysis" operation.

Columbus Dispatch, Sunday November 11 - mayor-joins-school-board-to-discuss-hiring-chief

Met with Dept of Education Investigator on Oct 31.

I had a request to meet with the State Auditor people, so a meeting was setup for October 31.  When I got there, a person from the Federal Dept of Education was there.  Justin Burt is a special investigator for the DOE, and is trying to find out what is going on at Columbus schools.   I also met with Robert Smith again, who is with the Special Investigative Unit of the Auditor of State.  We discussed the investigation so far.  It does not seem as if the investigation has progressed much beyond what I found out in late 2011 / early 2012, just before I retired.  Is this because the current administration at KW is stonewalling the request for data?  Not sure.  I am sure that any of the analysts currently employed at CCS will be very concerned about their jobs, and that any SUSPECTED contact with outside investigators will bring swift and terrible retribution by Michele and friends.  The analyst position has no union protection, only civil service, and we have found over the years that civil service protection is about equal to none at all.  And god knows, the CSCSA is no friend of Kingswood employees.  I doubt Michael Taylor would lift a finger to help out an analyst in trouble.

Also found out that that stinking liar Tankovitch DIDN't take a pay cut with his demotion from Executive Director.  The State Auditor people had a contact he and Gene signed stating he would take a demotion to Director but keep his old salary!  And how he whined at KW about having to take a pay cut!

So, the general air at my latest interview seemed to invite that notion that unless something new happened, Tankvoitch was going to get away with his little games.
