The Dallas Morning News is reporting that Dallas ISD was caught making up Social Security numbers for illegal immigrants in order to get them on the payroll quickly, especially as bilingual ed teachers.
Specifically, they were caught in 2004. And told by the state that it was illegal. And naughty. And they should stop.
And they’re still doing it right now.
But remember, public schools are transparent and accountable to the community, while private schools are unregulated and dangerous, and don’t have strong civic values!
Like most websites, the Dallas Morning News site automatically provides links to related stories. Here’s what comes up as related to this one:
“Unused Workbooks Are Tossed Out at Dallas School, Violating Policy”
“Dallas ISD Announces $64M Budget Shortfall”
Maybe they could make up that shortfall if they hired some of the geniuses here in Wisconsin who invested all the school funds in shady securities. None of them is going to face any kind of disciplinary or legal ramifications for their malfeasance with public funds, so there’ll be no smudges on those resumes that might make it hard for another school system to hire them and benefit from their services.
The University that I used to work for here did that.
Reused SSN’s so there was no way to know which individuals had done what, particularly in course work.
I have no idea what happened to the tax money.
