Keep in mind that
GPS paid a consultant $100,000.00
for a "Strategic Plan" while the administration was cutting
teacher and staff positions.
GPS
paid $1,508,721.00 for property, liability and casualty
insurance coverage for the 2011-2012 including
$74,240.00 for pre-paid legal fees
for just one year.
GPS is paying full pay and benefits
to a National Board Certified Teacher who awaits a public hearing on
the effort to unfairly fire her (since November 22, 2011) and GPS
also is paying the long-term substitute teacher who took over her
classroom. Costs for
the public hearing are expected to be about $30,000.00,
not including
legal fees,
which can be expected in the $500,000.00+
range. |
