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
Jimmy Kilpatrick and George Scott
Zach Kopplin

Corruption A To Z: The Special Commissioner For Investigation For the NYC School District
The City of New York's SCI Office reveals the corruption in New York City in graphic detail. Mr. Richard Condon now works for Mayor Bloomberg, therefore we can expect to see investigations chosen specifically to boost the Mayor's political standing.
          
We have brought incidents of misallocation of PTA funds, as well as violations of City, State and Federal laws by school staff to the attention of SCI, and have spent hours going over altered purchase orders, etc in the SCI Office. No one replied or investigated. (Editor - parentadvocates.org)

A Message from the Special Commissioner

LINK

The hurdles a student in the New York City school system faces each day should not include verbal harassment, physical contact, or sexual abuse by school employees. Theft of precious financial resources, corrupt practices, and mismanagement pose a different, but still unwelcome burden on the system.

My office is committed to the safety and welfare of the City's student population and a major portion of our work involves investigations of those who would prey on schoolchildren. At the same time, we pursue fraud and waste and have been successful in returning City funds that have been misappropriated by Department of Education employees and vendors.

You can help. Whether you work in the system, are a parent, a taxpayer, or a concerned individual, if you suspect wrongdoing at your local public school or elsewhere within the New York City Department of Education, contact us. Your identity can be kept confidential and City employees are protected against retaliation in the workplace.
