Huh. Why don't they want to say what the math mistake was?

Wow, that is depressing. I google'd for more info but could not find any more information about the math error, or if he school board was looking for a new Financial Administrator. (I hope so)

I did find that that same school board gave 'tentative' approval to text books rife with incorrect anwsers...including one text book that was 79% wrong.

Are you kidding me?

One *series* of textbooks from a single publisher contained 79% of *all the errors found in all textbooks*.

No indicatino of how much of the book was wrong.

Last week, 152 employees -- including clerks, office managers and teacher assistants -- voluntarily left their jobs, the district said.

Typical, no mention of the hundreds of elected officials who willingly went without pay while they worked to fix the deficit.
