WHEN INCOMPETENCE REARS IT'S UGLY HEAD

By Bob Walsh

 

Five of the seven SCUSD Board of Education members 
 
 
The clowns who have been running the Sacramento Unified School District are sweating it.  Their projected budget deficit for next year is over $50 million.  If they can't get their shit together the state will take over the district making the board irrelevant and making their idiocy very, very public.  Elected idiots don't like it when that happens.  

They are freezing all non-essential procurement.  They are freezing hiring.  They are doing some short-term layoffs of non-union personnel (which isn't very much in CA).  They are even talking about cutting out some of their incredibly bloated administrative payroll.

Of course they claim they need to hold on and right the ship FOR THE CHILDREN.  What they (union officials and elected officials) really mean is that they want desperately to hang onto their gigs and know they won't if the real story gets out.  And it will if the state takes over the district.  

It will be amusing to watch, at least from the outside.  I am confident that individual moronic expenditures of large chunks of money will be coming to light over the next weeks and months and the taxpayers up in Sac will get an idea of how badly they are being screwed.
