FBI Investigates Dallas Independent School District

Like it's not enough that Texas is getting a bad rap about all the cheating on the standardized tests, but now the FBI has come to town to investigate DISD and their credit card use. About a month ago, DISD found out that some of their employees were using the district credit cards for personal use. We're not just talking about a lunch here or a dinner there. We're talking about big purchases! $6Million in big purchases that were in violation of the use!! That's $6M in just one year!!

Look at the tax dollars at work. All I can say in response to this is I'm so glad I'm no longer in Dallas County. My tax money, for the most part, goes elsewhere.

Here is the full story

Now you know why they were cheating on the tests...so they could get more money from No Child Left Behind to pay the bills.  HAHA

It's a shame to hear that.  Its not the first school system and not the last.  It makes the whole community look bad when something like that happens.  Bad press travels fast.

It is amazing how people could be so fradulant.

You posted on my blog about competiting for referrals because I was inviting other agents. I may be competing for referrals but I am not using this system for referrals for my company.

Just to let you know I am an office manager not a practicing agent so my motives for being on ActiveRain may a little different than most. I am here for advertising :P
