21st Century School Malfeasance
It says something about the enormous wealth of America that a county school chief executive* can be accused of giving a ONE MILLION DOLLAR contract to his live-in girlfriend's employer.
The board hired the Chicago firm in response to controversy stemming from a $1 million purchase last year of educational software and equipment. Hornsby failed to disclose at the time of the purchase that he was living with a saleswoman for the vendor, LeapFrog SchoolHouse of Emeryville, Calif. He later denied wrongdoing.*he's a chief executive, not a superintendant. That says something, too.
