Like the kid who cried "wolf", California government schools are just looking for attention.
The Merced district, claiming to need money, is going to hold a "workshop" for two days in Lake Tahoe, instead of a conference room in Merced.
"Awash in red ink and with the Merced Union High School District restricting its spending to essential items, district officials have planned a two-day staff development workshop next month at Lake Tahoe."
The District does have a non profit raising money to help with these expenses--instead, charity money is going to be spent in Lake Tahoe.
"The MUHSD Education Foundation, a donation-based nonprofit, will pay for one night's stay at the the Embassy Suites Hotel in Lake Tahoe if administrators agree to share rooms, said Raynee Daley, MUHSD chief business officer.
The trip is estimated to cost between $9,000 and $11,000, said Caroline Bennett, treasurer for the MUHSD Education Foundation.
No taxpayer money will be used for the cost of the trip."
This is a charity that needs to be audited and its management needs to be changed--how many school supplies could have been bought with the money instead going to the Embassy Suites in Lake Tahoe.
