My wife is based and is researching exactly how our local School Board is spending our taxpayer dollars.
$11,000 annually for : AASA - The School Superintendents Association https://www.aasa.org
$10,000 annually for : NAESP - National Association of Elementary School Principals - https://www.naesp.org
What gets REALLY interesting is how these and other "Associations" are tied to Google, Fakebook, Missing Children Associations, Insurance companies, Aramark Food Services, Scholastic News, and Critical Race Theory advocates.
The lobbyists help fund these groups and via the unions advocate for their services to the School Boards.
THAT is awesome. How did she decide on a direction to research?
She's the PTA President and couldn't understand why the school board didn't have any money for field trips and buses. Upon researching the school budget, the "Association" fees were very obscure and abbreviated to the point that you had to decipher them.
Follow the money, and one thing leads to another. Finding how the lobbyists were influencing the choices the school board made regarding who their suppliers were was a real eye opener.
Your wife is a jewel. I would bet that what she found is rampant everywhere.
Sick.
