PSD needs to lick its wounds and be thankful it wasn’t a lot more, and forget about wasting any more taxpayer money on an appeal.

Government Court orders a government school to pay a fine. Is this just an accounting trick or does actual monies come from the school district’s bank account and into the court’s bank?
Or is this just more Kabuki for the rubes?

[NohSpinZone]

No punitive damages for this CLEARLY willful act of discrimination based on race? This is a civil rights violation, for Pete’s sake.

[ConservativeWarrior]

Sounds like this woman managed to do a lot of damage before cashing out.

Great hire, Philly!

PSD is owned by two white men.

I'm sure the author meant "SDT is owned by two white men". I KNOW that PSD is not owned by two white men.

They should go to jail for it.

A jury ruled that the district, along with Ackerman’s estate (she died in 2013), must pay out $2.3 million in damages.

This is the most significant clause in this entire article.

The jury held Ackerman personally responsible, and assessed damages to her. Even though she died 3 years ago, her estate has apparently been held in probate until this was settled.

A whistleblower has already settled, although it's unclear who paid the settlement. And two more lawsuits are pending. There's a good chance nothing will be left of Ackerman's estate by the time this is all over.

I wonder what her heirs think of her, now? They probably think the "evil white guys stole our money", and have never considered that Ackerman brought this on herself -- and them.

Frankly, it's going to take more of this: when a civil servant does something damaging, the courts have to stop protecting them... and make him/her personally liable.

The abrupt turn of events, it turns out, had a racial motivation. An investigation by The Philadelphia Inquirer discovered Ackerman became fed up that the district kept giving contracts to white-owned companies. PSD is owned by two white men.
So, after telling other PSD administrators she would make sure “all these white boys didn’t get contracts,” Ackerman canceled SDT’s contract and diverted it over to IBS, which had black ownership.

Sounds like the Jewish leftist had a bigger problem with White MEN than just Whites. Sexist more than racist.

“PSD is owned by two white men.

Another mistake by a crack journalist.

I wonder how the PI got anyone to investigate that.

And the operative sentence is:

"Prior to her downfall, and almost simultaneously with her decision to cancel the SDT contract, Ackerman was praised by President Barack Obama."

Everything and everybody this guy touches goes belly-up. Pray he never endorses Trump.

[factoryrat]

Expect this to be appealed by the dept. of “just us’ with extreme prejudice.

A total racist black bitch with way too much power. Sounds like someone else we know, residing in the WH.

Ackerman knew how to milk the system. She even tried to file for unemployment benefits after she was fired AND received a $905,000 buyout.

SDT should re-register as a minority owned business. Since we can now choose our sex and our race, everybody can get in on the government minority gravy train.

Only problem is, the school district doesn’t have a dime of its own money - it’s taxpayer money. They’ll just raise the school tax another notch.

Philadelphia School District (PSD) is owned by two white men.

That seems a dad unusual.
