Napkin Man's Thoughts on the Children's Trust: It's Bull$#!%!

Napkin Man has once again stepped out of the shadows to give his opinions, anonymously, on a topic of interest to him.

He's sent it in to the County yesterday in a plain envelope.  He's forwarded his opinions on multiple topics over the last several years.

Napkin man uses salty language, which I black out.

If you can decipher his chicken-scratch, hyroglyphic cursive--which I have attempted to do---I think he is not well pleased about some of the organizations receiving funding from the Children's Trust.  And he apparently has some opinions about how organizations should be monitored post-award.  Or something like that I think.

Oh, and he didn't vote for it either, by the way.  For your reading pleasure, see below......Napkin Man!

Wow, the Octogenarian Epistolarian and I actually have something in common--neither of us voted for the Children's Trust!

But the majority did, so now that we have it, it needs to succeed. 100 million dollars over 10 years is way too much money to squander. Give it to the school board? No thanks. They can't spend the money they have in a way that actually benefits the students, teachers, and staff.

Trust staff needs to pick up their game and correct the processes with the simple fix of employing standard best practices.

And if Patty Hightower wants to own the Trust's By-Laws and Policy, she needs to stop building in inadequacies that provide her with room to maneuver, and start cleaning up the grey areas she's helping to foster. The gig is up on the School Board helping to blow up the Trust. Perhaps they can get that out of their system and actually start contributing to the program's success.
