Comments on: Official Press Statement : Community Groups to Offer Recommendations-Assistance to TPS http://www.gtul.org/news/official-press-statement-community-groups-to-offer-recommendations-assistance-to-tps Empowering Communities and Changing Lives Wed, 15 Dec 2010 21:08:36 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=5.2.21 By: Tim Bell http://www.gtul.org/news/official-press-statement-community-groups-to-offer-recommendations-assistance-to-tps/comment-page-1#comment-34 Mon, 30 Aug 2010 19:57:00 +0000 http://www.gtul.org/?p=584#comment-34 Toledo Public Schools is in desparate need of guidance and business management. The Waste And Recycling Was bid out on 8/10/2010 and requested FOIA information for proper bids were not sent for the business office until 8/18/2010 when requested on 8/3/2010. This is unacceptable. Excuses such as we so not have the staff to get the past bid documents, We do not have the past bid documents, and then no respsponce to the FOIA request just puts the district in a harder spot. With all the mis-trust of the past Business Manager my question was why is’nt this Bid a public bid? This bid is anywhere from $175,000 – $200,000 yearly. And when you request the information for a proper bid and a very large investment in new equipment and you are not responded back from the Risk Management & Legal services for the TPS business business office there is a problem. Then they awarded the contract on 8/20/2010 listing our company as no responce to the bid.
If you can not provide what each school pays per line item…then you do not know what you are paying. I just have to think there is a problem here!
