On October 16, 2017, Nick Meduho had asked about the Jo Posti reset presentation. His questions were not answered, so Nick had fifteen open Right To Knows with the School District when he passed away. I had to refile them in my name, as I had explained in an earlier post. The RTKs, all related to the Century of Excellence Capital Campaign or the Mt. Lebanon Foundation for Education (MLFE) are starting to come in.
I'm not sure how to go about this, so these will be in no particular order. I will continue to update with RTKs as I receive them.
- MLFE 990's 2013-2015
- "On November 8, 2017, the Mt. Lebanon School District (the “District") received your Public Records Request (“Request”), made pursuant to the Right to Know Law ("RTKL"), seeking: the most recent detailed statement by the Mt.

Lebanon), the proceeds thereof, the investments which have been made therewith, the income arising there from, the expenses of administration, and the purposes to which the income arising there from have been applied., Such statement shall be audited as hereinafter provided for the auditing of school finances." Another thirty days, on top of what Nick had to wait.

Both organizations are intertwined with Mount Lebanon School District. Common thread ... The Capital Campaign.
12:58 PM, thank you for researching and sharing your observations with us. Perhaps this is what Nick was driving at. The stadium blankets were run through the campaign fund. The school district is supplementing Astorino's salary via the capital campaign fund and MLFE.
ReplyDeleteThey are all coming from the same pot. WTH?
How the audit showed nothing out of the ordinary is beyond me. According to the school board meeting agenda,
"Single Audit Report for Year Ending June 30, 2017: RESOLVED, That the Board accepts and approves the Single Audit Report for the year ending June 30, 2017 as audited by Maher Duessel, CPAs."
Shaking my head.
