Coverups of sexual misconduct. Inflated numbers as to how well the students are doing academically. Trips to foreign lands and Vegas when a conference locally will suffice. Lies , lies and deception are the cornerstone of the CPS.

The manager will keep their job, get raises, have great health benefits and a huge pension. Nothing bad will happen to them, the only bad is to the taxpayers. Lie, cheat, and steal is the CPS motto.

Agree. At a minimum, you lie on a governmental form to enrich yourself (in the form of trips, raises etc.) you lose your pension. There has to be consequences for this absurd malfeasance of taxpayer money. Start with the school superintendents. Way too many of them anyway and if this is going on, they are not doing their job as stewards of children and taxpayer money.

If the fed would allow verification of income for free lunches it would be MANY millions!
When even the school teachers kids are on it this is insane!
