Fayette Transportation Employees Accuse Department of Fraud
UPDATED:
Confidential sources inside the Fayette County Schools Transportation Department have told KSN&C that they sent a letter to Superintendent Tom Shelton and all Fayette County Board of Education members alleging fraud on the part of department leadership. KSN&C has obtained a copy of the letter. These employees say that they have been in communication with some board members previously and claim that they can show "numerous issues of unfair treatment of employees all around by [Transportation Director] John Kiser and his outdated style of leadership."
The letter sent by email February 17th from an account belonging to jjpeterson2012@gmailcom thanks Shelton for visiting transportation employees (apparently a rare event for a Fayette County superintendent), describes an "unpleasant work environment," and accuses the department of fraud, citing two examples.
After thanking Shelton for his visits to Liberty Road and Miles Point and stating that "for the most part, we feel as though Fayette County Public Schools is a good place to work," the sources identify "problems with some aspects" of FCPS that left unaddressed "contribute to morale issues" and impact the working environment.
Part of that working environment apparently includes the anonymous employees' fear that if they spoke their concerns out loud that they would be retaliated against by Kiser or district COO Mary Browning Wright. "We don't feel as though our concerns will be fully investigated or listened to" but that [Browning] "will protect him, or try and cover up his actions."
Two very specific examples of alleged "fraud" were "just a scratch on the surface." Both seem to relate to a feeling on the part of the employees that there is an uneven treatment of favored versus unfavored employees.
The first concerns a Miles Point shop employee named Bruce who, according to the letter, hasn't worked for several years but draws a $30,000 salary. "He punches in every day and does not move from his seat unless he is taking lunch, going to the bathroom, or going to the vending machine...Bruce is a mechanic assistant, but he does nothing to assist any of the mechanics...To be quite honest, we view this as fraud." They complain that no one else is allowed to sit around and do nothing because they would be fired. Yet it "occurs every day with the full knowledge of the shop supervisor" Frank Shaffer and Kiser. "If this is excusable, please tell us. We would like the same privileges," they wrote.
The second concern regards Rick the husband of "our department's payroll person," a Liberty Road vehicle assistant who complained of arthritis and no longer works in the shop, but was placed in an unadvertised desk job making "well over $30,000. They say that he is allowed to drive his wife to Miles Point and punch in there "under the pretext that he is delivering mail" despite the fact that another employee already does that task every day around noon. This apparently violates some department rule.
"If you don't believe that it is going on please come to the bus garage and see it with your own eyes...If you ask John or Frank, if this is happening they will cover it up and give you an answer that hides it."
Last September Kiser and three other administrators, along with former Superintendent Stu Silberman and the board were sued by a driver claiming retaliation,violation of the whistleblower statute, breach of contract, constructive discharge, intentional Infliction of Emotional Distress and arbitrary and capricious acts in violation of the Kentucky Constitution.
The suit was only one in a long list of complaints that have surfaced from the transportation department over the past year. KSN&C had heard of numerous grievances that die in the department without being forwarded up the chain of command. Instead of trying to resolve issues according to policy, the district tried to prevent former FCPS attorney Brenda Allen from representing bus drivers. Cases of overt disrespect of school district personnel were widely alleged. The case is pending in Judge Kim Bunnell's Fayette County District court.
Incoming FCPS Superintendent Tom Shelton heard about complaints involving the transportation department and agreed to look into the situation. But that plan was derailed, one assumes, by Allen's suit. Surely the attorneys defending the district did not want Shelton gathering discoverable information that could potentially refute what they were planning to present in court.
On Sunday March 4th, Shelton confirmed to KSN&C that he responded to the employees with the following message:
Thank you for sharing these concerns! I am well aware of these issues in Transportation and had hoped to conduct a full review of our transportation department by this point. Unfortunately, at the advice of our attorneys, I could not proceed with this investigation because of current litigation involving this department. You can be assured that the Board is also aware of the concerns and has the expectation that we will deal with these issues appropriately. The Board is precluded by law from dealing with personnel issues but I plan to keep them aware of our plans to deal with your concerns. Thanks again for sharing your concerns and you can be assured I am developing a plan to deal with these issues.

Santorum knocks govt over schools but takes money
As he presses for the conservative votes he needs to overtake GOP presidential front-runner Mitt Romney, Rick Santorum is hammering away at the role state and federal governments play in running schools.
Santorum plays up how he and his wife have home-schooled their seven children and says parents should be the ones responsible for educating their kids.
Yet back when Santorum was a senator from Pennsylvania, he got a Pittsburgh-area school district to help pay tens of thousands of dollars in tuition for his children to receive online schooling.
It's a bit of history that's unknown to many voters outside Pennsylvania as the Republican nomination race closes in on the 10 Super Tuesday contests next week.
Santorum says he wants to curtail dramatically the power of states and the federal government in public education.
"Not only do I believe the federal government should get out of the education business, I think the state government should start to get out of the education business and put it back with the local and into the community," Santorum said in a recent debate in Arizona with his GOP rivals.
He mocks America's schools as "factories" that stand as "anachronistic" relics of the Industrial Revolution and says he would home-school his kids in the White House if he becomes president.
In the fall of 2004, Santorum's use of tax dollars to pay for his kids' home schooling became controversial because his family was primarily living in Leesburg, Va., west of Washington. Following a local newspaper report, the Penn Hills School District near Pittsburgh tried to recover about $73,000 that it contended the state wrongly sent to an Internet-based charter school. Although the Santorums owned a house in the school district, officials argued, they were living out of state. The Pennsylvania Education Department in 2006 agreed to pay the district $55,000 to settle the dispute.
The cyberschool controversy dogged Santorum through his 2006 Senate re-election bid and contributed to his 18-point loss to Democrat Bob Casey.
Santorum's campaign did not respond this week to questions about his family's online instruction, and it's not known whether his children received teaching at home in addition to what they got online.
The Santorums withdrew their children from the cyberschool and resumed home schooling after Penn Hills officials complained about the tuition payments. Students in cyberschools log onto computers to access their assignments and teachers.
Teacher Caught on Tape Bullying Student.
Is a Camera a Kid's Only Advocate?
This from Yahoo:
Nobody believed Julio Artuz, a 15 year old New Jersey special education student, when he complained of being bullied by his teacher. So he caught the whole thing on tape.
In footage captured in secret on his cellphone, Artuz is subjected to curses and berating from a man who's supposed to be a mentor.
View more videos at: http://nbcphiladelphia.com.
Artuz's teacher says: "I will kick your [expletive] from here to kingdom come until I'm 80 years old."
"Don't threaten me," responds Artuz.
"What are you going to do? You gonna get a chopper and chop me?" asks his teacher as the rest of the class sits rubbernecking the heated argument.
What Jules did do was show his taped account to his parents and a local advocate of bullied students.
After an NBC news affiliate in Philadelphia got hold of the footage (above), the school immediately took action, placing the teacher on paid administrative leave pending an investigation...
Teacher Leaves Wife, Kids for High School Student
Last year, Jordan Powers was just another student from Mr. Hooker's class. Now she's his live-in girlfriend.
James Hooker -- the 41-year-old married father who left his wife and kids for his 18-year-old-student -- might be the worst teacher ever. Last week, he resigned from his job at Enochs High School in Modesto, California over the scandal that's shaken up a community and pit one mom on a crusade to save her daughter from a man she calls a "master manipulator."
Jordan met her teacher as a freshman, but both maintain nothing physical happened until she turned 18 this past September. Hooker claims he saw Powers as "just a student" and had no romantic feelings toward her at first, but when her most recent birthday came around, things changed.
They changed so much, in fact, that Hooker, left his wife and three kids (one of them a 17-year-old Enochs high school student as well) so that he could move in with Jordan.
If this all sounds suspicious to you, imagine how Tammie Powers, Jordan's mom, feels. She's launched an official police investigation to find out if Hooker's relationship with her daughter began before Jordan was of legal age. Tammie is convinced it did, citing a photo of her daughter on Hooker's lap and text messages, emails and phone records exchanged between the couple that predate her daughter's 18th birthday.
"That's pursuit, in my opinion, with some type of intent," she told ABC News 10 in California.
Hooker denies Tammie's claims and is confident the investigation will turn up nothing. He blames the "stigma of the teacher-student relationship" for the public backlash. But Hooker's former boss, Modesto City Schools Supt. Pam Able, doesn't agree.
Even if their relationship doesn't break any laws, Able says she "considers student-teacher dating relationships to be not only unprofessional, but immoral." She also added in an email to the Modesto Bee, that Hooker's relationship has become a "source of great concern for staff, students and parents."
It must be particularly hard for Hooker's 17 year old daughter, now that her father has left to be with a fellow classmate and become a notorious figure throughout the school.
Still, Hooker claims he has no regrets. In an interview with Good Morning America, he shut down Tammie's accusations as a "pack of lies" and said of his new love, "we really do want to have a future together."
Watch: ABC News' exclusive interview with Hooker and Powers
Jordan, a quiet, fragile-seeming young woman, who looks closer to 15 than 18 years in age, gazed up at her former teacher, a man that looks every bit his 41 years, and said, "He's more than just a lover."
Jordan has now stopped going to classes and is finishing out her senior year by doing an independent study. She has limited contact with her mom, now that she's living with her teacher, mom's worst nightmare.
Desperate for her child, Tammie has turned her own Facebook page into a "most wanted" profile for Hooker. She's plastered his photo all over her wall warning neighbors about the man she calls an "arrogant pig". She's also made her wallpaper a photo of a prison cell, sending a message to Hooker should he dare visit her site...
Woman hired to be top aide to JCPS Superintendent Donna Hargens turns down job
Questions clouded Hargens' aide pick
This from C-J:
A woman who was hired earlier this week to be a top aide to Jefferson County Public Schools Superintendent Donna Hargens turned down the job Friday after questions were raised about her background.
Jamilah Fraser, who was to become the district’s chief diversity, community relations and communications officer on March 12, sent Hargens a letter Friday afternoon saying she was not accepting the job.
A news release from the district noted that the decision to hire her had been “spotlighted” in the media and said Fraser decided not to accept the post “in light of recent events.”
In an email sent to The Courier-Journal on Friday, Fraser said she was shocked to read media coverage of her "short time" with the Philadelphia school district.
“My time in Philadelphia was spent dealing with one major crisis after another and I dealt with each one in an ethical manner,” she wrote. “I have really looked forward to working with Jefferson County Schools Superintendent Dr. Donna Hargens. However, an inaccurate, negative picture has been painted of who I am. In light of this, I believe it would be difficult to build the relationship necessary between myself and district administration to doing the important work on behalf of Jefferson County students and parents."
In an interview Friday, Hargens said she was “confident in my decision to select Fraser for the position.”
“In the end, I think she felt it was in her best interest and that of the district” to not come to Louisville, Hargens said. “I respect her decision, but I still think she was a solid candidate who would have served this district well.”
Linda Duncan, a Jefferson County school board member who expressed concerns over Fraser’s hiring earlier this week, said Friday that as superintendent, Hargens “has the right to pick who she wants to work with.
“I just hoped it would be someone that didn’t have so much controversy,” Duncan said.
Fraser resigned suddenly last August from her previous job with Philadelphia Public Schools after she was accused of running a personal public-relations campaign for the outgoing superintendent, according to published reports...

Study: Good Principals Make a Difference in High-Poverty Schools
... just like every other school.
This from Inside School Research:
This from Inside School Research:
How important is school leadership? Where are the most effective leaders, and how can we tell that they—and not circumstance—are responsible for their schools' success?
"Estimating the Effect of Leaders on Public Sector Productivity: The Case of School Principals," a new working paper from Gregory F. Branch of the University of Texas, Dallas, Eric A. Hanushek of Stanford University, and Steven G. Rivkin of Amherst College sets out to answer these and other questions about effective principals, using data on 7,429 principals from the University of Texas, Dallas's Texas Schools Project.
The report focuses in particular on principal transitions and on principals in schools with large numbers of disadvantaged students, to test the argument, echoed in public debate on education, that leadership is "especially important in revitalizing failing schools."
Overall, the researchers find wide variation in principal quality. The variation is greater among schools with large concentrations of low-income students. The researchers found that high-quality principals—as determined by a value-added model that includes student achievement and school characteristics—had a large positive impact on their students' achievement:
"A principal in the top 16 percent of the quality distribution...will lead annually to student gains that are .05 standard deviations or more higher than average for all students in the school (emphasis is the authors')."...
Why it’s no surprise high- and low-rated teachers are all around
This from GothamSchools:
The New York Times’ first big story on the Teacher Data Reports released last week contained what sounded like great news: After years of studies suggesting that the strongest teachers were clustered at the most affluent schools, top-rated teachers now seemed as likely to work on the Upper East Side as in the South Bronx.
Teachers with high scores on the city’s rating system could be found “in the poorest corners of the Bronx, like Tremont and Soundview, and in middle-class neighborhoods,” “in wealthy swaths of Manhattan, but also in immigrant enclaves,” and “in similar proportions in successful and struggling schools,” the Times reported.
Education analyst Michael Petrilli called the findings “jaw-dropping news” that “upends everything we thought we knew about teacher quality.”
Except it’s not really news at all. Value-added measurements like the ones used to generate the city’s Teacher Data Reports are designed precisely to control for differences in neighborhood, student makeup, and students’ past performance.
The adjustments mean that teachers are effectively ranked relative to other teachers of similar students. Teachers who teach similar students, then, are guaranteed to have a full range of scores, from high to low. And, unsurprisingly, teachers in the same school or neighborhood often teach similar students.
“I chuckled when I saw the first [Times story], since the headline pretty much has to be true: Effective and ineffective teachers will be found in all types of schools, given the way these measures are constructed,” said Sean Corcoran, a New York University economist who has studied the city’s Teacher Data Reports....
House Panel Gives Partisan Approval to ESEA Bills
This from Politics K-12:
On a partisan vote, the House Education and the Workforce Committee today gave its stamp of approval to GOP-backed legislation reauthorizing portions of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act.
A pair of bills, both of which were introduced by U.S. Rep. John Kline, R-Minn., the chairman of the committee, would scale back the federal role in education and give states much more running room when it comes to K-12 policy, a 180-degree pivot from the current version of the law, the decade-old No Child Left Behind Act. The measures passed on a party-line vote of 23-16.
Debate around the measures at today's committee markup was predictably partisan.
Rep. George Miller, the top Democrat on the committee, said the legislation "turn[s] its back on the civil rights promises of this nation: that every child deserves a fair shot at success, no matter what their background."
Not surprisingly, Kline sees it differently. He said the legislation "untie[s] the hands of state and local leaders who are clamoring for the opportunity to change the status quo and revive innovation in our classrooms." ...
New JCPS hire under scrutiny
Nice work from Toni at The Courier-Journal:
Questions are being raised about the background and qualifications of a key aide hired Monday by Jefferson County Public Schools Superintendent Donna Hargens.
From her FEMA days
Jamilah Fraser, named by Hargens as the chief diversity, community relations and communications officer, resigned suddenly from her previous job with Philadelphia Public Schools after she was accused of running a personal public-relations campaign for the outgoing superintendent, according to published media reports.
And Fraser’s resume indicates she lacked the administrative experience that Hargens initially required for the JCPS position, which will pay her $160,538 annually.
“This employment decision by JCPS is yet another example of the continual and constant ineptitude that continues to be exhibited by the district,” said Louisville attorney J. Bruce Miller, who has been critical of the district’s hiring practices and spending for several years.]
School board member Linda Duncan said Wednesday she also is concerned about Fraser’s past. Duncan said Hargens left board members a voice mail message Wednesday morning, telling them she had 42 applicants for the position and that Fraser was the most qualified of all those who had applied....
According to the City Paper, an independent weekly newspaper in Philadelphia, Fraser was part of a “communications team dedicated to promoting and defending (Superintendent Arlene Ackerman) personally, and which coordinated and assisted public rallies in her favor, communicated regularly with private supporters, and spent taxpayer time and money on various kinds of ‘propaganda,’ including protest signs and a farewell tribute video.” ...
This from The Naked City:
The School District of Philadelphia cleaned its media relations house on Monday when Director Jamilah Fraser and two staffers stepped down alongside Superintendent Arlene Ackerman. Fernando Gallard, a long-time (and thanks to calls from me and other reporters, long-suffering) staffer, is now acting Communications Director.And this:
This is only the most recent of many public relations shakeups at the District. The School District announced the hiring of Fraser and two staffers in November 2010, eleven months after Arlene Ackerman fired two long-time communications staffers. Fraser was Ackerman’s fourth communications chief since 2008.
The Notebook reported that Fraser, like her predecessors, made $170,000. High salaries for central office executives in general, and communications office employees in particular, have sparked controversy throughout Ackerman’s tenure, and staffers have even been accused of coordinating outside protests to support her.
And then there was the $986,000 spent on outside PR in addition to the $2.86 million the District pays for in-house communications...
Two knowledgeable sources tell City Paper that former Superintendent Arlene Ackerman ran a School District communications team dedicated to promoting and defending her personally, and which coordinated and assisted public rallies in her favor, communicated regularly with private supporters, and spent taxpayer time and money on various kinds of "propaganda," including protest signs and a farewell tribute video. Since Ackerman's departure after negotiating a nearly $1 million buy-out of her contract, one source says the same team continues to manage Ackerman's antagonistic public relations campaign against Mayor Michael Nutter and others.
The three Communications staffers who allegedly orchestrated a personal public relations campaign for Ackerman — former Director Jamilah Fraser, and staffers Shana Kemp and Elizabeth Childs — resigned last Monday, the same day that Ackerman's buyout was announced. According to one source, the three were told they would be fired if they did not resign because they had gone rogue, spending the majority of their time working for the Superintendent even as she was headed for the door.
These sources say that Jamilah Fraser and her two deputies were dedicated to protecting and promoting Ackerman above all else...
This from the Philadelphia Inquirer - December 13, 2011:
City schools' secret Web projects -
The employee who created them under Ackerman faces losing his job.
Christopher Akers had never met Arlene C. Ackerman before, he says, one of her top aides began ordering him to do secret projects for the controversial former schools chief.
Sometimes he felt uncomfortable about the assignments: a website for a group billed as a grassroots activist organization, or an iPhone game starring Ackerman as a superhero.
But the Philadelphia School District webmaster said he was just trying to stay employed.
"I do my job," said Akers, 30. "Sometimes, you've got a boss that you don't really like that much, but you still have to put food on the table."
On Thursday, Akers was accused of "unsatisfactory work performance," "theft of time, failure to meet deadlines and improper use of district equipment." He expects to be fired.
Akers said he did nothing wrong, but was caught up in School District politics - chosen by Ackerman and her former communications chief, Jamilah Fraser , for special and secretive tasks - and is now paying the price.
Akers first encountered Fraser when he was tapped to create a web page for Ackerman's Renaissance Schools initiative, which targeted failing schools for turnaround. It was the superintendent's signature project.
By all accounts, he wowed the higher-ups. "You've done an amazing job," one of his bosses wrote in an e-mail to Akers dated Jan. 12. "Impressing Dr. Ackerman is definitely a win for the department, so I thank you for your ability to demonstrate your talent under pressure."
Soon after that, Akers was again approached by Fraser. She wanted him to work on more projects for Ackerman. Discretion was crucial...
The only thing he did wrong, Akers said, was doing what a powerful person told him to do.This from the Philadelphia Inquirer, November 20, 2011:
Akers' disciplinary hearing is scheduled for Tuesday morning. As a member of the Philadelphia Federation of Teachers, he will have union representation, but he doesn't expect the decision to go his way.
Former Philly schools official planning lawsuit
The Philadelphia School District's former senior vice president for procurement has submitted court papers signaling that he intends to file a slander and libel suit against the district, the School Reform Commission, former Superintendent Arlene C. Ackerman, and other district officials...[including] Jamilah Fraser, the district's former communications chief...
With the first day of classes rapidly approaching, I’d like nothing better than to be writing about what’s ahead for the Philadelphia School District’s 2011-12 school year. But there are still a few details of the Arlene Ackerman long goodbye that deserve mention. Here’s one: her farewell video. The video is long — 13 minutes and 34 seconds. And dramatic, with text reminding viewers of 5,000 years of civil rights struggles. “An Arlene Ackerman Retrospective” draws stark contrasts between the state of education in the Philadelphia School District prior to her arrival in 2008 (bad) and after she came (much better.)
This from the Philadelphia Examiner September 3, 2011:
Ackerman owned communication staff
After months of speculation about the Philadelphia School District’s involvement in various types of propaganda, the truth has finally emerged. The City Paper’s staff writer, Daniel Denvir, reports that Dr. Ackerman used the district’s communication department for her own self-promotion and it was used to talk with private supporters, make signs as well as the now infamous farewell video.This from the Philadelphia Examiner August 17, 2011:
All these things were paid for by the school district often spending time and money to solely promote Ackerman. Although Arlene Ackerman has said in interviews that the three communication staff members, who were responsible for this debacle, had been fired the real truth is that they resigned. Granted they were told that if they didn’t resign they would be fired, but the three employees opted for resignation. The school district communications department was created to work on behalf of the district and not for one person.
The three staff members, Jamilah Fraser , Shana Kemp and Elizabeth Childs, ignored the requirements of their job only to work as Ackerman’s personal public relations staff. The three women were paid by the school district, but Ackerman made sure they got top dollar.
Fraser earned $170,000 and Kemp and Childs received $135,000 each at the expense of the taxpayers. It was these three women who were responsible for the over-the-top appearance of Ackerman at the principal’s meeting on August 18th.
The July 22nd pro-Ackerman rally was organized by Fraser and the posters were made by the district...
Where in the world is Dr. Ackerman?
Philadelphia Inquirer staff writers, Kristen A. Graham and Susan Snyder report that Dr. Ackerman has been absent from several meetings including the Superintendent's 2011 Leadership Conference. Supporters say that her duties have been taken away and given to Deputy Superintendent Nunery. Sources have also said that a buyout deal was being worked out where Ackerman would receive lot less than the original 1.5 million dollars.
School district spokesperson Jamilah Fraser , who has lately become a master at spin control, has denied all the statements that were made by district outsiders and insists that Dr. Ackerman has attended plenty of meetings...
This from the Philadelphia Inquirer August 12, 2011:
Ackerman's dining companions -
Expense reports show who had her ear over meals,
including a lobbyist who won $268,997 in school contracts.
It was a working dinner - salad, crimson snapper, halibut, and key lime pie - for Philadelphia schools chief Arlene C. Ackerman and Melonease Shaw, a political consultant and lobbyist...
Altogether, Ackerman spent nearly $18,000 over about three years for local dining, travel, and other costs, or around $600 a month. That's far less than the bills she ran up as schools chief in San Francisco, where her business spending came under fire, and not out of line with what senior executives of large operations spend, according to compensation experts...
Jamilah Fraser , another Ackerman spokeswoman, said the superintendent's spending was appropriate and said all of it had been approved by the SRC...
Philadelphia Inquirer November 9, 2010:
Jamilah Fraser named communications chief for Philadelphia schools
The School District of Philadelphia has a new chief communications officer. Jamilah Fraser has a background in TV and experience handling communications about natural disasters for the Federal Emergency Management Agency. Fraser, 34, will receive $170,000 for overseeing district communications, community engagement, and broadcast operations. She started Monday as the replacement for Lisa Mastoon, a former television producer and communications specialist who quit in August after two weeks in the post. Fraser said her plans included creating new programming for the district's public-access channel, PSTV; enhancing the district's use of social media; launching community initiatives; and developing an internship program with local colleges and universities. After earning a bachelor's degree in English from the University of South Carolina, Fraser began her broadcast career with local stations in South Carolina and Missouri. In 2005, in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina, Fraser joined FEMA, where she produced several public-service announcements on hurricane preparedness and an instructional video for children. In addition to her work after Katrina, Fraser worked for FEMA in California, dealing with wildfires and floods.
This from the Post and Courier December 5, 2004:
Fraser at Muslim network
Jamilah Fraser , a Charleston native who worked in local TV, is program director for the new American Muslim Television Network, which made its debut Tuesday as the country's first 24-hour Muslim channel in English. Locally, the channel is available on GlobeCast satellite TV.
Heavyweight boxing champ Muhammad Ali flipped the switch to officially launch the network. Fraser, 28, a graduate of the University of South Carolina, said she hopes there is demand in the Charleston area for the network on Comcast and Time-Warner cable. "It's basically a Muslim lifestyle network," Fraser said.
She said the new network will provide entertainment, news, education and a view of Muslim life now missing from American TV. Fraser hopes the new network helps to dispel stereotypical images of Muslims.
"If anything, people will learn that Muslims are part of the American fabric, that we are a people with an everyday life. They show us on television as terrorists or as females who cover their bodies completely with the exception of their eyes. It's going to banish a lot of stereotypes and misconceptions," she said...
