re: The latest from the EBRPSS fiasco-school board meeting last night

Seriously, man, you need to tone down the attacks. You sound like a close relative of a school board member or something. And the self reported v whistle blower argument is only an attempt to make someone look they are on top of things. But if the board or the superintendent knew this was happening, why did it take a state DOE audit to get an independent audit? Is the board looking for someone to sweep this under the rug or for someone to actually try to find out what happened? I guess it will depend on who gets hired and their credibility.

sorry had to edit for poor writing skills

?

You brought up a good point. If the Supt. really wanted to get to the bottom of this "scandal" then why didn't he do the in house audit/investigation when he (according to Russian) self reported it in the Fall. Why did a whistleblower have to come forward for anything to get done?

When you look at it this way, you wonder if the Supt. and the board had already thought it was swept under the rug until the whistleblower came forward.

Join the club, I'm right there with you and probably one of the worst here, ask Russian.

Do you have a link stating the state audit began for another reason?

---

I didn't say what you claim I said. Why do you continually misquote me? Here is what I wrote earlier in this thread:

And everyone seems to ignore it was the EBR superintendent who first reported the problems in graduation records to the state DOE last Fall when the new recordkeeping person at Glen Oaks HS first discovered the irregularities in September.

---

Notice I didn't say the state started their audit because the EBRSS reported the Glen Oaks record discrepancy. Stop making shite up.

You're always asking for links to info that has already been posted on this board.

Again, your poor memory is evident. Below is a post where the information I wrote about was most recently described.

You posted numerous times in the thread.

(If you have been diagnosed with dementia, I understand and my sympathies go out to you and I'll stop making reference to your memory. If you don't have Alzheimer's or dementia, GFY and stop expecting me to keep posting links to information that has already been posted and from threads where you posted numerous times.)

In its examination of the student who should not have been allowed to graduate, the audit offers more detail, complete with a timeline of events, but few conclusions about this complicated tale.

The student, who was not named, but who graduated from Glen Oaks High School in May, has since gone on to an unnamed state college.

A school counselor new to Glen Oaks first flagged the problem on Sept. 27.

In January, Taylor told The Advocate that the school system reported the problem to the state in the fall soon after it came to light and had reassigned employees who were at fault.

---

So the state knew about the Glen Oaks graduation issue in the fall but didn't start an audit until a whistle blower also reported it.

If you want to read the original report about the Glen Oaks graduation mess from last fall, find it yourself.

That explains a LOT.



Now I've admitted I'm crazy, what is your problem?

Mostly the willfully uninformed on this board is my problem.

I have. Rule #1 is to never allow someone to audit their own work or any work they are responsible for.

---

So Taylor shouldn't have a unit or Section dedicated to auditing and/or QC/QA because of Rule #1, since he is ultimately responsible for the system as a whole-which would include such a unit or Section-based on your experience auditing?

I've done a wee bit of auditing and fraud investigations myself. Tell me more...

If that's true, and I doubt it is based on your ignorant comments in your last post, you would know an internal audit manager should report directly to the board and only indirectly up through the line management.

If that is not feasible, then the internal audit manager must have direct access to the board or audit committee of the board without having to go through the line management and without the line management present when audit results are presented to the board or the board's audit committee.

If you didn't have that access in your "wee bit of auditing" then you weren't an auditor. You were an audit clerk.

Has Pat Smith taken over the EBR School Board? More reason to vote for St. George.

You're a liar, and you're a doltish, assuming oaf who equates Small Town hucksters like Bodi White to BILLION DOLLAR TAXER Kip Holden.

But damn if your act isn't hilarious. You're the last person to realize all of it, and you're raging against the machine like your name is Zach De La Rocha.

Good day to you, sir. Good day.

I can't write well, you liar, you! Which is, like, your opinion man. LOL.

Now, get the last word again, ya big fat fibber!

So they are going to throw more and more money into something that will most likely turn up with the same results.

Also, was this not random? Didn't it come about because of findings within the EBRPSS and then the DOE wanted to audit it to undercover any other potential findings?
