Today's likely guilty plea by ex-CEO of CPS, Barbara Byrd-Bennett, is nothing short of shameful, disappointing and harmful. Ms. Byrd-Bennett may well plead guilty today to a scheme of alleged kickbacks. I say alleged as there has been no court proceedings regarding the matter. Apparently, there are plenty of facts that point to the CEO potentially receiving potential monetary kickbacks for directing the services of her former employer(s) to do business with CPS.
I have no desire to get into the details about the case beyond what has been reported. Actually, even if I had more information I wouldn't go into more depth on the matter. Let the law take care of this.
No, the real loser in all of this is CPS as a whole. At a time when finances are in disarray, when schools have had to make personnel cuts in the middle of the year and a contract with CTU needs to be hammered out - among many other real issues - the schools, children and their families don't need anymore chaos and disarray.
It's hard for me to imagine working in this system. It certainly is not serving students, their families and school staffs in an appropriate manner. This whole fiasco is not certainly leading by example. What a travesty.
