ISD wasteful spending

"Austin ISD’s Proposition 1 asks that the taxpayers of Austin fork over $17.7 million more dollars for “general operating expenses”, according to their brochure, explaining the “need” to increase Austin residents’ taxes."

Why the need for additional operating expenses? According to a report in the Austin American Statesman the Austin ISD is spending taxpayer dollars on a local attorney to fight a reimbursement request in the amount of $22.50 from one of its teachers for a Spanish workshop.

Guess the local attorney is working pro bono for the Austin ISD!
