Money missing from Anti-Bullying Program - a Mifflin PTO officer used some money for personal use. Even though the money came from an outside grant, wouldn't PPS still oversee this? This man had an ATM card attached to this grant that he used for personal gains. When you think about all the many grants attached to PPS, one has to wonder about who oversees them? This one was from Heinz, and apparently he was able to spend money without prior approval"

Broken Promise: Pittsburgh Promise
This has some interesting statistics and suggestions. The Trib. seems to always tell it like it is unlike the Post-Gazette.

FACE coordinators

The Spring 2013 edition of The Pittsburgh Educator carries an article "Face Time" about the Family and Community Engagement initiative in our buildings. (could not locate an online copy of TPE-spring 2013)
It seems that the actions of a FACE coordinator varied widely this past year, some highly involved. Really, what can 15 hours/month give us? Should all of those hours be concentrated toward reaching the unengaged parent? What methods did the FACE staff see as successful?
