[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]For those who listened or attended, please summarize or key take-aways for those who were not able to listen this AM. [/quote]

Key takeaway - They need a modern Contracts management system, process, and better Audit/Control process.  [b]They should look for a better General Counsel[/b] or attorneys than who helped with the EV Bus contract.   They need better internal training and compliance procedures.

Based on the Financial Mgmt committee meeting they are putting into place a better Contract Mgmt system.  It's supposed to be in testing soon.  Don't know when it will come online because they need better Project/Program management.[/quote]

This should be a priority for Taylor. After losing two highly qualified and experienced general counsels, McKnight settled for one of her cronies who has no experience in the type of law needed to be the GC for a school system. [/quote]

I'm not sure I trust Taylor to make good hires given that he brought Essie back and it's clear she was at the center of the EV bus contract debacle. Even if I wanted to give her grace, her performance at the Council's Audit Committee hearing was abysmal.
