It's a legit point. There are 6,250 employees of EBR school district. There is absolutely no way a single person can know what shenanigans every one of those individuals might be up to at every moment of every work day. The Supt's blame will come about depending on how extensive the problem truly is and/or if there was any way he could have known about it


6,250 employees and 42,850 students in the system. That averages out to 7 students per employee.

You'd like to think they have enough people to determine if a kid has enough credits to graduate. But that's me.

Seriously, no way can Supt. Taylor know everything in his system, but by now he should know if a student graduated who shouldn't have since the auditors told him who they were.

You're an idiot. You can't even do simple math.

How are bus drivers, janitors, cafeteria workers, etc supposed to know a given child's grades? There may even be a rule or law against the school system divulging that information to such employees (privacy laws, laws about minors, etc). This puts your math waaaaaaay off.

I'll agree with that considering the qualifiers.

They obviously have enough employees, maybe they just don't have the right ones in place to watch for things like this. Whose responsibility is it to hire the right employees to prevent things like this from happening?
