The E-Accountability Foundation announces the

'A for Accountability' Award

to those who are willing to whistleblow unjust, misleading, or false actions and claims of the politico-educational complex in order to bring about educational reform in favor of children of all races, intellectual ability and economic status. They ask questions that need to be asked, such as "where is the money?" and "Why does it have to be this way?" and they never give up. These people have withstood adversity and have held those who seem not to believe in honesty, integrity and compassion accountable for their actions. The winners of our "A" work to expose wrong-doing not for themselves, but for others - total strangers - for the "Greater Good"of the community and, by their actions, exemplify courage and self-less passion. They are parent advocates. We salute you.

Winners of the "A":

Johnnie Mae Allen
David Possner
Dee Alpert
Aaron Carr
Harris Lirtzman
Hipolito Colon
Larry Fisher
The Giraffe Project and Giraffe Heroes' Program

From the April 24, 2004 Detroit News:

PONTIAC -- A former high school principal who spent nearly three years fighting charges she embezzled money from a school's student activities fund has pleaded no contest in the case.

Willie Aldridge entered the pleas to four counts of embezzlement over $1,000 on Wednesday before Oakland County Circuit Judge Gene Schnelz. Sentencing for the former Central High School principal was set for May 26.

In exchange for Aldridge's plea, prosecutors dismissed some other counts, The Daily Oakland Press reported. A no contest plea is not an admission of guilt but is treated as such for sentencing purposes.

Her sister, Bernice Bell, pleaded no contest to a single count of embezzlement. Five other charges were dismissed.

Prosecutors claimed that Aldridge and Bell cashed checks drawn on a school account during the 1999-2000 school year.
