NY school boss can raise lobby dollars on city time.
March 30, 2009
NY schools boss, Joel Klein can raise money for the Education Equality Project on city time. The EEP is a lobby group set up by Klein and Michelle Rhee among others, to advance their anti-union, privatization, centralized control schemes.
Apparently New York has a Conflict of Interest Board. The board had decided that Klein raising $1.5 million on city time for the EEP is not a conflict of interest.
Council of School Supervisors and Administrators President Ernie Logan, who is himself a signatory of the Education Equality Project’s platform, called the fund-raising arrangement “the most absurd thing I’ve ever heard.”
It kind of makes you wonder what the NY Conflict of Interest Board WOULD consider a conflict of interest?
