[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Here is my guess about why those LAMB revenue sources would likely be "judgement proof"--

The 6.3 M from per pupil fees is money the school would only receive if it actually enrolls and teaches students.  I can't imagine that the District's Treasurer gives the schools the entire 9 months worth of money for each kid at the beginning of the school year and then allows the schools to spend it as they like on things unrelated to teaching those students.  That would be way too tempting to those school leaders who like to mismanage public funds.  But then again, this is DC.  So maybe it's possible.

There is about half a million in fees for the Extended Day Learning Program (aka after school care) from parents whose kids are enrolled in the program.  Not sure what parent would keep paying the monthly cost of after school care if the school ceases to provide the care.  I certainly would not.

The federal grants are about half a million.  In general, federal grants restrict the use of the funds for things unrelated to the grant, like paying a legal judgement against the grantee for allowing child abuse.  It's pretty obvious why that would be their practice.  (That said, it did turn out that the US House was using our tax dollars to pay off victims.)  Also, fed grant money is usually distributed in installments after the grantee meets benchmarks. So if the grantee were to use the money for a different purpose than intended, they'd be cut off from receiving future installments.

What does any of what you wrote have to do with garnishing money in LAMB's bank account?  If LAMB thereby violates its agreements with 3rd parties by allowing funds to be garnished, then that's LAMB's issue.  [/quote]
