[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]No, it's not, it's still about the same people in the transportation department, who have been fired.[/quote]

Yep same old story. Nothing new here other than the OP trying to get more mileage out of an old story. [/quote]

A new report released yesterday with details about MCPS administrators misusing credit cards is the same old story. It's why teachers are on DonorsChoose begging for money for classroom supplies.

Maybe teachers would like to know that MCPS administrators can buy kayak covers with MCPS credit cards and don't have to go to DonorsChoose?[/quote]

This was public months ago. There's nothing new here. :YAWN:

How is an Investigation that was just made public yesterday also public months ago? Maybe wake up and read for once?  Collecting a MCPS check for posting drivel? [/quote]
Another NP here. OP - did you even actually read the story that you posted? It's pretty clear that MCPS found the problem based on an internal audit, reported it to the police, and then also hired an external auditor for more detailed investigation.

Here's a WTOP article from Nov 2021 about MCPS notifying the police after their internal audit noticed the problem.

Follow up article from Oct 2022: https://wtop.com/montgomery-county/2022/10/audit-finds-off-the-books-account-used-by-vendors-to-pay-montgomery-co-schools-staff/ 
"After reporting concerns to Montgomery County police, MCPS hired an accounting firm in December 2021 to carry out an independent forensic investigation of the account."

In addition to MCPS's independent audit, the police referral triggered audits by Maryland Office of Legislative Audits and by Montgomery County Office of Inspector General. OP's article is just a link to the final report from MC OIG.

Here's the last DCUM thread from Oct. 2022 https://www.dcurbanmom.com/jforum/posts/list/1086300.page on this topic.

So yes, this is old news.[/quote]

Didn't read the Investigative Report either, did you?  So much time spent covering up what is in the Report. It must be really important to you to cover up what went on. 
You don't want anyone to read what the Inspector General said about MCPS or the Board of Education, do you? 
You don't want anyone to find out how widespread the credit card abuse was, do you? You certainly don't want anyone to find out what the money was spent on.
Let's keep teachers on DonorsChoose begging for markers while MCPS administrators buy covers for their kayaks.
