I taught in DISD for 4 years. My first year, I was put in charge of an award program. We awarded kids for perfect attendance, honor roll, etc. I was given a couple of catalogues and told to order prizes.
LaneSig: "What's the budget for this?"
Vice Principal: "Don't worry about it. We'll get it paid."
LaneSig: "Seriously? There's not a set figure to be worked with?" (said out of surprise, not greed)
VP: "Just buy the stuff."
That's been Dallas's opinion for a while. There was the issue 4-5 years ago where the school district was paying money for roofing repairs to portable buildings. The problem: Nobody was checking to see if the work was really being done. They paid money for jobs that weren't done, etc. In one case, they paid to have the roofs on 4 portables repaired at a school that only had 2 portables. They have no clue.
