Elizabeth Moyer: Director Chris Spence

director Chris Spence: The most recent example remember last years $143 pencil sharpener installation? is the trustee-generated request for a provincial spending audit of former director Chris Spence and the boards Focus on Youth summer camp program for at-risk kids, according to The Star. Sure, Ontarios ministry of education must proceed with an investigation of Spences spending, months after he resigned in a plagiarism scandal. But its far from clear that theres any need for an expensive investigation into the Focus on Youth program. It has faced many previous audits, some quite recent, and none has found significant problems and The students may eventually mature but, sadly, the adult antics never seem to end at the Toronto District School Board . While the school boards audit committee chair, Elizabeth Moyer, and several other committee members allege some sort of fiscal malfeasance, the motivation for the audit of the camp program is becoming increasingly murky. And thats why this sorry saga could be another waste of education dollars as much as $450,000, to be exact. Imagine how that tidy sum could help the TDSB music programs that seem to always be in danger. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
