Manatee County School Board needs to clean house

Being a business owner, I am held to a budget that is based on revenue. Government should be no different; however the opposite appears evident with some in leadership roles. Manatee County School District is seeing their revenue streams shrink, yet many in administration blame Tallahassee because of loose accounting and mismanaged finances.
Our revenue problems are an output of bad spending habits that started under Dr. Roger Dearing. Then Director of Finance, Tim McGonagall was in charge of how our Districts monies were used. There have been questions in independent audits about the use of sales tax in addition to other gray areas.
Our District spends more time in litigation that on task of providing education to special needs. The numbers of dollars spent on legal fees is amazing and to only end up losing the cases. It seems as if every parent trying to get services for their children are challenged by an incompetent ESE leadership team.
As parent and tax payers, I demand better as does many in the district. It is time that Superintendent McGonagall, Attorney John Bowen and ESE Director Ron Russell step down for the better of the community.
