DETAILS
* Sherrod & Bernard received excessive fees for bonds ($1.2 million).
* School Board Members (Jimmy Bartlett & Sam Haskell) voted to pay Sherrod & Bernard 2-3x other comparable school attorneys ($295,000).
* Ken Bernard’s contract requires the school board to pay a 6-figure severance if they ever don’t renew his contract (an unenforceable provision, written by the the board’s attorney himself).
* Sherrod & Bernard’s only accountability to the board is $25,000 per month invoices stating, “For professional services rendered.”
* Attorney Ken Bernard and CFO Kay Turner failed to tell the school board prior to October, that refunding (refinancing) a bond could have saved $500,000, until School Board Member Larry Barnes found out and challenged them.
* Contracts have not been bid out, costing tax payers $100,000K’s.
* Officials allegedly attempted to pad contracts for CFO Kay Turner and COO Dudley Spruill with 3 year terms tied to incremental increases in Superintendent Remillard’s salary.
* There has been no outside independent audit of the $150 million spent on school construction even though Ra-Lin was found by the Savannah Public School Board to have included such things as $1400 in Sunset Hills country club green’s fees in their invoices.
CHILDREN AND TEACHERS IN DOUGLAS COUNTY NEED OUR HELP, NOW!
72% of our tax money goes to the public school system. In my humble opinion if we can’t get parents to show up at this school board meeting after this alleged misuse of funds, to support education and children in Douglas County, we’re in a heap of trouble as a community!
