The Chicago Public School system has removed 12 principals and assistant principals for allegedly falsifying free and reduced lunch forms for their own children, according to a report from the Office of the Inspector General and CPS.
None of the 12 assistant principals or principals have been charged with a crime, but have been removed from their posts pending due process hearings. Their names have been withheld during the hearing process. The program costs about $100 million per year and is meant to provide nutritious meals to needy children.
“The investigation by the OIG has uncovered continuing fraud in this program and we will not stand for any lapse in ethical judgment by our school leaders,” said CPS Chief Executive Officer Jean-Claude Brizard. “CPS employees have an obligation to the students, families and taxpayers of this District to hold themselves to the highest ethical standards. We simply cannot, and will not, allow any employee to break the trust that parents and children of this District place in us every day.”

CPS employees making as much as $70,000 per year were applying for the benefit
I'm sure no principal in Chitown makes that little money. Here in Indiana (which pays well below Illinois) principals make 100 grand and up.
Yes, we have a bunch of Libtards in Olympia.
——Is this amount of free food considered in the calculation of the food stamp benefits supplied to the family?——
Would that not go against this administration policy of getting as many people with as much payout as possible to get the US to the Cloward Piven strategy to bring down the country to rebuild into their wet dream socialist nightmare ....
And this summer at the school I took some kids to (I am a guardian) they no longer discourage adults from “finishing the plate”. Up through last summer they were very strict on that.
Great post!
Yep, these are the 'types' I want teaching children... nice liberal values... Did you notice they left out the 'teachers' who are been removed?
Too many to name?
Maybe JC Penny and Kraft Foods (Oreo cookie) can come to their defense... traditional Americans don't like this kind of stuff - and that makes the cheaters victims - worthy of liberal love.... and favor. Stick it to those traditional Americans liberals, you guys are sooooooo superior. ( yeah - liberals DO protect corrupt teachers and the unions that allow them to get away with NOT teaching )
