ReplyDeleteWhat were they going to do before the change order... Use chalk?
And where was the rain water going to go from the athletic wing... Into the
stadium?
That masonry patch in the masonry wall in the elevator shaft... is that to fix the hole where they ran ductwork thru the elevator shaft?
ReplyDeleteThe running total of change orders has been updated.

Mr. Celli stated he had not figured out, in his own mind,who owned the change order losses presented to the school board on June 10th.. So, who put these change orders on the Agenda for the public to pay for them if one or more of of the contractors own those losses?
ReplyDeleteWho embarrassed himself/herself by allowing these change orders to be discussed before a professional opinion was rendered on ownership? Was the decision made by Superintendent Steinhauer, or President Cappucci and/or Vice President Lebowitz, or all three of them agreeing to send the bill to the public without justification?
Were any of the smaller change orders subjected to the same over site as the large change orders?
Dan Remely never said a word about this problem; do we really need Dan on the board?
Here are some other mistakes on the Agenda:
ReplyDelete1) ML Graduation was televised June 14 but the List of Graduates is not being approved until June 17. This happened last year too.
2) The Board is giving carte-blanche permission to do June Budget Transfers because they won’t vote on them until July. It is not clear any board member has seen that list yet.
3) Budgetary transfers to close the 2012-2013 fiscal year won’t be approved by the board until October when the Audit is printed. This is included in the List of Financial Items. Are Ms. Klein’s books in such a condition that it takes the auditor three months to figure out the end-of-year transfers?
The School Code requires board members to vote on Budgetary transfers. Does anyone think the Legislature intended the board to vote after the fact?
The Board, Ms. Klein, and the Auditor should consider reading the books they are approving for the high-school students:
“PRINCIPLES OF BUSINESS”
“PERSONAL FINANCIAL LITERACY” (Recommended for those with HELOC’s)
“BUSINESS MATH”
