The examples of ASD's incompetence in technical and budgetary matters is
legion. I was on the budget advisory committee once (I'll never be asked
back) and seeing it stacked with teachers and staff with obvious conflicts
of interest I've long given up any hope of ASD being able to be reformed.
They're thoroughly corrupt, from Cuomo on down to the unions.

I've since pulled my daughter out of ASD's corrupting influence and she is
now homeschooled. Of course, as a property owner, I'm still funding this
failed atrocity of an educational system involuntarily.
