I've seen 990's for other organizations and fractional hours are generally marked with a decimal point, but the Outreach accountant apparently just left a space. For example, on the 2013 (2012) 990 Mary D Burks is listed as contributing an average of 1 00 (note the space) hours/week and Karen Johnson contributing an average of 24 00 (again, note the space). David Brumfield's contribution shows " 50," but the 50 is aligned where the " 00's" are for Burks and Johnson.Richard Gideonnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2395310382514169324.post-45597544841465360502017-03-28T00:29:53.603-04:002017-03-28T00:29:53.603-04:00It is still obvious to me that there is a " c...It is still obvious to me that there is a " conflict of loyalty with Berks and Outreach. Who is to say that she's not IDing kids in the district with disabilities which gets sent to the to MLSB which likes to get rid of kids with disabilities including physical, and mental health disabilities. It has happened in the past. All students have a right to a free and appropriate public education. Too much corruption in regards to the disabled kids. This is why Sabol was let go. She found out and had it been investigated, then the school district would have been bankrupt. <br /><br />AnonymousAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2395310382514169324.post-88211348254317535222017-03-27T16:54:30.363-04:002017-03-27T16:54:30.363-04:00TQuickly looking at those 990s there seems to be a...TQuickly looking at those 990s there seems to be a lot of people volunteering 50 hours/week on average.<br /><br />I suspect that some are counting their hours from a related organization as well, but it seems very odd almost everyone Averages 50 hrs/week.<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2395310382514169324.post-88615686332927951352017-03-27T16:32:23.688-04:002017-03-27T16:32:23.688-04:00Two more 990's were sent to me and added as a ...Two more 990's were sent to me and added as a second update to this post.

Instead of listing her at the beginning of the table of compensation she is at the end, along with James Brophy (24 hours/week average), Director OPE, who received $33,494. I didn't notice it at first; my apologies. Also, anyone who looks up this info in the 990's may be a bit confused. For example, Guidestar's 2015 entry is for calendar year 2014, or tax year July 1, 2014 to June 30, 2015 (a FY). But that year's 990 was signed on May 12, 2016! Another interesting anomaly with respect to the 2013 (calendar year 2012) form 990 is that the first person listed in the table of key personnel, table of compensation, is David Brumfield, who is show as working an average of 50 hours/week and receiving a compensation of nada.<br /><br />PublisAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2395310382514169324.post-75446487988476197652017-03-26T18:14:22.655-04:002017-03-26T18:14:22.655-04:00Thanks, Publis.
