How corrupt or downright incompetent is the management of government schools? Many are paying 90% above real prices for roofs. It will take the State to step in to stop this.
Yet, we allow these folks to teach our children? How dumb are we?
"Some of the states school districts haven't exactly been the best purchasers of products or services, according to Assemblyman Hector De La Torre, D-South Gate.
De La Torre has authored AB 635 to address states bidding system for roofing projects on schools.
Why the need for legislation? Apparently some school districts have allowed certain roofing companies and manufacturers to dictate the specifications of the project so narrowly, only the roofing manufacturer bidding on the particular job could possibly qualify for the bid. In the private sector, it is commonly referred to as feathering your own nest.
De La Torre said that during an investigation by the Assembly Committee on Accountability and Administrative Review, evidence was uncovered of consistent overcharging as high as 90 percent on school roofing projects by roofing contractors and manufacturers even with public contracting codes provisions in place in the state."
This is embarrassing the corrupt fiscally irresponsible State government appears to be smarter than the Fifth Graders running our schools.
