Goodbye, Timmy

Someone asked me, "What's the most difficult thing about owning a dog?" ...i replied, "the Goodbye."

So here is what I got for $1.25.

As I reported yesterday, I had to prepay $1.25 for missing receipts that should have been included in Nick M.'s RTK. See Getting nowhere quick! to read the ration of you know what that our disrespectful school board president dished out to me. Jeanine emailed the five receipts to me today. Here they are. Pursuant receipts

The five receipts must have come from the general fund. They are not earmarked Fund 27 Capital Campaign like the others were.

It was brought to my attention today to look at the footnote on Timmy's Capital Campaign Timeline. 

Jan Klein usually reports that the monthly bills are typical for this time of year. As we know from the school board president who is under investigation, items are approved through monthly bills without the school board directors taking the time to read the list of bills. Timmy always recommends that the monthly bills be approved.


I'm getting the feeling that the $923,530.02 loan/investment/heist is just the tip of the iceberg. How can these funds be co-mingled? How much money has actually been lost or mismanaged? Seriously, Jan Klein needs to go. We must hire different auditors. The school board needs to get rid of the Capital Campaign Director and her cabinet, even though Mary thinks it is a 100 year plan. They need to give Timmy his walking papers. Promote Dr. Davis to Superintendent. Go back to one assistant superintendent. Make "How to win friends and influence people" required reading for the board majority and the Timmy Ticket. And we need to get Mary Birks the heck out of there.

November 2014...the district prepares to move out of the “quiet phase”

One task wrapping up includes organizing committees to work with different groups of potential donors, like alumni or faculty; the campaign also is gathering volunteers to host “awareness” events at their homes, said Superintendent Timothy Steinhauer. 

“You try to get the majority of contributors before you make a big public splash, so you can say, ‘We have this much of our $6 million campaign done, now we need your help,'” he said. He declined to say how much had been pledged so far.

So far, nobody has pointed the finger at Timmy, so  I will. I have all of Timmy's goals listed below. Where are his 2017-2018 goals?

Dear Mt. Lebanon School District Families,

In our ongoing effort to keep you apprised of local issues, I am sending you information that I received from the Mt. Lebanon Municipality concerning the controlled archery hunt they will conduct from September 16 through January 27 with a break between November 25 and December 25.  I have attached a letter from Municipal Manger Keith McGill with details about the program and a link to more extensive information on the Municipal website at http://www.mtlebanon.org/2114/Deer-Management-Information. This same information is also being shared with all of our principals, teachers, and support staff. Please do not hesitate to contact the Mt. Lebanon Municipality or Mt. Lebanon Police Department should you have any questions.

Sincerely,

Timothy J. Steinhauer, Ed.D.
Superintendent of Schools
Mt. Lebanon School District

Was: The nonsense is NOT stopping. Now: The Timmy Ticket UPDATED

Original publication date: 3/13/17 3:00 PM

Elaine Cappucci sure is a gutsy woman. Not only did Elaine file, but is running for both seats! Let me back up a minute. As it was explained to me last week, there is a two year term seat which is the remaining portion of Elaine's term. Then there are the usual four year seats that expire at the end of this year. I believe all are running for both seats. Word on the street is that the solicitor is wrong on this, but what do I know? If Elaine wins both seats, or any of school board candidates win both seats, then there will be an appointment or another special election. (It is not clear what will happen.)  Even with 111 mostly negative comments in my post, This nonsense has to stop!, Elaine is running in TWO elections.

I received another anonymous letter this morning. Again, I will permit anonymous comments to protect the individual(s) who sent this to me.

March 14, 2017 4:40 PM Another anonymous letter in today's mail. This time, the author claims to be a teacher.
