Dr. Tassones annual salary (according to Newsday) was $230,000! From the same article - Long Lsland has 124 school districts. In the past 5 years, auditors have examined the books of just 14 districts. Roslyn was one that was not audited...........I am looking for the article that lists school districts, supposedly randomly chosen, to be audited. IIFC, it was a very small number and none were from our "super wealthy" districts.
I saw Dr. Tassone salary in the article. My question is about the salary paid to the "internal auditor, an acquaintance of Dr. Tassone".
"The extent of the review by the internal auditor, an acquaintance of Dr. Tassone who received $6,200 in unexplained payments from the district, consisted of thumbing through and initialing the vouchers, the audit said."
Implies he had a salaried job (how much?) and he received the $6200 fraudulently. Bet he made big bucks for doing virtually nothing.
In the past few years, our taxes have gone up in ridiculous amounts. They were high enough. I had gone to different school meetings and if you don't go along, they ignore you and your suggestions. No room for discussion. I always maintained a positive and friendly attitude regardless. I found it odd. I cannot go to these meetings any more because it just stressed me out too much.
I too, am very interested in what schools were audited and which ones are next. If you come across the audit info, if you could, Freepmail me. I'll do the same if you like.
