Wicomico County Board of Education -- in this posting, we will report on only one vendor, "My Turn To Cook" These expenditures were made in a two year period. Remember while reading this, when asking for budget increases, the taxpayers are told..... "it's all for the kids."

Theses are the charges that were done in a two year audit period.
Pay attention to the dates for these charges & ask yourself, who was eating on the taxpayers dime? We do know that "My Turn to Cook" is a Laurel, DE company.
Do they have some connection to someone at the BOE? Inquiring minds want to know!

Holy crap.
For the ones during the summer, I really don't think it involved kids, PTA or staff paying for something that was run through the board financial system but not actually paid by board funds. No need to wonder why taxpayers question the poor mouthing at budget time.
What the Hell is that one on 7/9/12 about??? $1440, c'mon
I wonder if the person using the BOE cards push the "do you want cash back" button? It would be THAT easy! Even the transparent, may not really be transparent.
Where i the leadership?? Obviously Mr. Pollit is just like the rest of our socialist democrats as evidenced by his leading from his leading from behind administration and lack of common sense in spending inclusive with his lack of his fiscal responsibility and accountability. Remember, the school board and its employees answer to us, the taxpayers!
My guess is a relative to someone at the Board.
Just shut up and pay up.
Just want to do a Paul Harvey ( the rest of the story). Not everything is as it is seen at a first glance. My daughter-in-laws' school had an end of the year faculty party that was listed earlier. In this case the money for the meals ( I think it was Brew River) was collected from each teacher and deposited in the school account, and paid with one school check....it was not on the taxpayer's dime. Not saying there is not waste in some cases, but don't always assume it, before you know "the Rest of The Story".

You may be correct however seperate accounts should be set up for that. Any finance person will tell you that you do not co-mingle funds. The co-mingleing leads to fraud.
1:04, With all due respect, are you suggesting there already isn't FRAUD involved in the spending we've been providing?
The reason Pollitt won't do anything about this is he is as guilty as they are about spending taxpayers dollars on food.
1:06, Funny how Pollitt refuses to provide HIS spending in the Executives Office.
There is no co-mingling. There are separate account numbers used for the social committees. Why don't you look at the accounting system and the chart of accounts before you make judgements?
The answer is NO. Corporate cards do not have that option. Hope this answers your question.
To the comment that the staff paid it to the school maybe they should just pay with there own money at the restaurant. It was probable that the board paid a portion of the bill. Lets just take any suspicion away and not have any money for food go through the board. With the new guide lines for food the students cant have food purchased for them. School cafeteria is the only ones that should be purchasing food. they are not required to go by the new guide lines.
