Kerry Leider today:
“They are not experts in property development,†Leider said of residents who expressed what they would like to see at Central. “We have those types of experts.â€
This in a nutshell shows the impact of Johnson Controls on the Duluth School Administration. I liked Kerry. He once gave me credit for saving his job when another school board member, Laura Condon, went on the warpath against him. Sadly he’s lied through his teeth about how much JCI would be paid. He’s papered over problems with some of the new schools to get various City commissions to give the District variances from city zoning laws. More Here, Here and Here.
The Result? A school district that keeps spending far beyond what it originally promised and that has taken money out of the classroom and raised class size. Now the Trib is asking for forgiveness for the perpetrators. We’ll see how forgiving Duluth parents are with the next round or two of budget cuts.
Yup. Kerry Leider has experts that know a hell of a lot more than the people who count on the Duluth Schools to educate their children. Kerry’s experts are very smart. They keep reaching into our pockets for more money.
