REPORT OF INVESTIGATION Office of Professional Responsibility

RE: PAGE, Torey ISON-NEWSOME, Shirley 30053 3711 Case Number: 10082 Case Number: 10378

Executive Summary

Based on the evidence in this investigation, Torey PAGE, Principal of Wilmer-Hutchins Elementary School and Shirley ISON-NEWSOME, Interim Division Executive, failed to follow a directive from the Dallas ISD Chief of Staff that the use of external facilities for professional staff development sessions "...is no longer an option". By failing to follow the directive from the Chief of Staff, which was sent to Torey PAGE on two occasions, Torey PAGE violated Dallas ISD Policy CAA (Local) "Fiscal Management", Policy DF (Local) "Grounds for Termination", and Policy DFBB (Local) "Nonrenewal". Shirley ISON-NEWSOME violated Dallas ISD Policy CAA (Local) "Fiscal Management" when she also failed to follow the Chief of Staff directive. PAGE'S and ISON-NEWSOME'S failure to follow a District directive caused $1,493.40 in an unauthorized expenditure. Shirley ISON-NEWSOME is an at-will employee.

This Report of Investigation is the opinion of the Office of Professional Responsibility of the Dallas Independent School District and is based upon evidence from its investigation of this matter.

REPORT OF INVESTIGATION Office of Professional Responsibility

RE: PAGE, Torey ISON-NEWSOME, Shirley 30053 3711 Case Number: 10082 Case Number: 10378

Background

Source Of Investigation

This investigation was initiated by the Office of Professional Responsibility (OPR) from information developed during a prior OPR investigation. The information was input into the OPR Hotline system. (W1-1 Hotline Report and Payment Records, W1-2. Hotline Report)

Allegation

Information was developed that Torey PAGE, Principal of Wilmer-Hutchins Elementary School, held a staff development session on August 17, 2011 at an external facility without obtaining written approval from the appropriate Chief. Approval was required by a directive issued by the Dallas ISD Chief of Staff in a Districtwide memorandum on June 22, 2011. (W1-1)

The external facility was Alley Cats Entertainment Center located at 2008 West Pleasant Ridge Road, Arlington, Texas. The website for Alley Cats, www.allevcatsbowl.com , indicates the facility features food, bowling, billiards, laser tag, a rock climbing wall and an arcade.

During this investigation information was developed that Shirley ISON-NEWSOME, as Senior Executive Director of the Southeast Elementary Learning Community and supervisor of Torey PAGE, also failed to obtain Chief level written approval for the use of the external facility by Wilmer-Hutchins Elementary School. (W1-2)

Employee Status

Torey PAGE has an Educator contract with the Dallas ISD that expires June 4, 2012. (W2-1. Oracle Print)

Shirley ISON-NEWSOME is an At-Will employee and does not have a contract with the Dallas ISD.

Employees are on Administrative Leave: ^ e s • N o

Extent And Results Of Investigation

During a prior OPR investigation, a witness provided information that Wilmer-Hutchins Elementary School held a staff development event at an entertainment facility at the beginning of the 2011-2012 school year. This was after the Dallas ISD Chief of Staff had issued a directive that use of external facilities was no longer an option after July 1, 2011.

On June 22, 2011, the Dallas ISD Chief of Staff issued a memorandum that stated:

"Effective July 1, 2011, the use of external facilities for professional development sessions or other meetings is no longer an option. In light of the constraints that are included in the 2011-2012 budget, district employees must be mindful of the manner in which the limited

funds are expended. Internal facility scheduling must be pursued before any exceptions can be approved. If the need arises and internal facilities are not available or sufficient, approval must be secured through the appropriate Chief in writing."

"Thank you for your cooperation and immediate attention to this matter." (W3-1. Memorandum)

Sharon Sumner, Manger-News and Information for Dallas ISD, confirmed to OPR that an email regarding the use of external facilities was sent to all Dallas ISD staff on June 22, 2011. Sumner said there was no way to customize the distribution list to include some staff and exclude others. Sumner said the wording in the email sent to the entire staff was:

"Effective July 1, 2011, the use of external facilities for professional development sessions or other meetings is no longer an option. In light of the constraints that are included in the 2011-2012 budget, district employees must be mindful of the manner in which the limited funds are expended. Internal facility scheduling must be pursued before any exceptions can be approved. If the need arises and internal facilities are not available or sufficient, approval must be secured through the appropriate Chief in writing." (W4-1, Emails)

Shelia Carter, Office Manager at Wilmer-Hutchins Elementary School, was interviewed by OPR on February 6, 2012. Carter signed an Administrative Statement and submitted a sworn affidavit. (W5-1. Affidavit) In her affidavit, Carter stated:

"During the month of June/July, Mr. PAGE, Wilmer-Hutchins Elementary School Principal, informed me that he had obtained approval from Ms. Shirley ISON-NEWSOME to attend Alley Cat for Staff Development during the week the staff reported to work. I arranged a date and time to go to Alley Cat(s) to visit the cite (site) along with Mr. PAGE. Arrangements were made with the manager, Jay and a fax was sent to put in a check request for the deposit of $300.00. Upon returning back to the campus, John Neely Bryan where we were temporary housed, I proceeded to input the information. Being a new Office manager, I contacted Account(s) Payable to make sure I had the correct line code and I was told by Shirley Shaw to submit the agenda along with the request when I submitted everything for payment. As we got closer to the date, the vendor had not received the deposit check. On the day of the event, I stayed at the campus to wait to hear from Accounts Payable to pick up the remaining balance of $1289.40. When I got there (Alley Cats) with the balance and I spoke with the cashier, she stated that she had not received the deposit and a lady walked in with the deposit check. She stated that it was in her box and she opened it and immediately brought it to Alley Cat's (sic) because she was afraid we would not have our event. There was a difference in the amount so the cashier wrote the difference down and asked that a check be cut for the difference in the amount of $204. The initial deposit of $300.00 was voided and another check was requested." (W5-H

In her affidavit, Carter, said she did not recall receiving the June 22, 2011 memorandum or the email relating to the use of external facilities. In an email to OPR on February 6, 2012, Carter said that she reviewed her emails for the Dallas ISD News relating to the use of external facilities. Carter said she did not receive the email. (W5-2, Email)

Dietra Nickerson, Accounts Payable Lead for Dallas ISD, was interviewed by OPR on February 23, 2012. Nickerson submitted a sworn affidavit. In her affidavit Nickerson said that the requisitions related to the

REPORT OF INVESTIGATION Office of Professional Responsibility

RE: PAGE, Torey ISON-NEWSOME, Shirley 30053 3711 Case Number: 10082 Case Number: 10378

payments to Alley Cats were processed by Shirley Shaw, a Specialist in Accounts Payable. Nickerson said that Shaw was responsible only for the approvals required in the Oracle hierarchy. Nickerson said that special approval, like the type required by the Chief of Staff regarding the use of external facilities in the June 22, 2011 memorandum, was the responsibility of the campus. The approval should have been obtained prior to submitting the requisition for payment. The total amount expended for the Alley Cats event was $1,493.40. fW6-1. Affidavit)

Emma Cannon, Manager in Accounting Services for Dallas ISD, was contacted by OPR on February 23, 2012. In an email to OPR, Cannon stated the requisitions related to the payment of the Alley Cats event were reviewed and approved based upon the standard process with the appropriated hierarchy approvals. Cannon said it was not until October 20, 2011 that Accounts Payable was provided with an explanation of the Chief of Staff memorandum dated June 22, 2011. Currently check requisitions that include hotels, restaurants and special events are not processed through Accounts Payable and are rejected and referenced back to the memorandum. (W7-1, Email)

Cynthia Garcia, Specialist II in Budget Services for Dallas ISD, was interviewed by OPR on March 7, 2012 and submitted a sworn affidavit. (W8-1, Affidavit) Garcia was the budget specialist that assisted PAGE in establishing the initial budget for Wilmer-Hutchins Elementary School. In her affidavit, Garcia stated:

"In January of 2011, I met with the principal of Wilmer Hutchins Elementary, Torey PAGE, to set up his budget for the remainder of the fiscal year. We discussed many options so that he could get started with the opening of the school. He informed me of his ideas and what he wanted to do to get things started and I was able to tie the line codes to what he said his needs were for the campus. For staff development, he did inform me that he wanted to have all his teachers come together to get geared up and excited about the new school and the new year. He also mentioned a book study that he wanted them to do, which is also considered staff development. At that point I set up staff development line codes for travel and for extra duty pay, as well as many other line codes in order for him to proceed with the start-up of Wilmer Hutchins."

"At the time of the meeting, Mr. PAGE never specifically stated a location for the staff development. I suggested locations free to the district such as Center for Community Cooperation. I cannot and never have approved an expense. My responsibility is to set the budget up according to what is stated to me as their campus needs. I do not have the authorization to approve what they can or cannot spend the funds for. I do, however, make suggestions to spend otherwise so that it focuses more on instruction. I did find out about Alleycats after the fact only because the line code was questioned and I was able to drill down into the Oracle system to see what the expense was for. I had never heard of Alleycats before seeing it as an expense. The funds had already been expended. Many campuses/departments contact the Budget Services Department inquiring about a specific charge to their line codes, and even though this is not in our realm of responsibility, we assist them and can drill down to a certain level to see what exactly was paid and when."

"If a principal/director has specifically asked me about an expense before the fact, I only suggest" other options if I feel it will cause a problem but in no way can I control or authorize how the funds are actually spent..." (W8-1)

Garcia attached to the affidavit an email she sent to PAGE with an attachment which was the initial budget for the new Wilmer-Hutchins Elementary School. The budget shows $15,000 for "Staff

Development for Teacher Training, CILT Members" and $2,000 for "Staff Development Books (Never Work Harder)". There is no listing for Staff Development at Alley Cats. (W8-2, Affidavit Attachments)

On August 10, 2011 at 1:37 p.m., Garcia responded to an email from Shelia Carter, Office Manager at Wilmer- Hutchins Elementary School, asking about funds for the Alley Cats expense because there was a balance due of $1,289.40. This was seven days before the event was to take place. Garcia attached to her response email the actual notice from the Chief of Staff concerning the use of external facilities for professional development. The email said, "In regards to the Alley Cat check requisition, please see the attached notification sent back on June 22, 2011." The tracking information on Garcia's email shows the email was delivered to PAGE and Carter on August 10, 2011 at 1:37 pm. (W8-3, Emails) Shelia Carter and PAGE both acknowledged receiving and reading the email. In her affidavit, Carter said she was not able to open the attachment. (W5-3. Affidavit) PAGE said in his affidavit that he did not recall opening the email attachment. (W9-3. Affidavit)

PAGE was therefore sent the June 22, 2011 Dallas ISD Chief of Staff directive on two occasions, (1) on June 22, 2011 when the directive was sent in a Districtwide memorandum, and (2) on August 10, 2011 when the directive was sent as an attachment in Garcia's email to PAGE and Carter regarding the Alley Cats expense. (W3-1 and W8-3) The appropriate person from whom to obtain a Chief-level approval under the directive was former Chief of Staff, Claudia Rodriguez. Angelina Nufio, Executive Administrative Assistant in the School Leadership and Administrative Services Department was asked to review the records of the former Chief of Schools to determine if Wilmer-Hutchins Elementary School had received written approval from the Chief to use an external facility for staff development. Nufio showed no record of the request. (W11-1. Email) Three days before the event was to take place, PAGE did obtain the written approval of ISON-NEWSOME on August 14, 2011. (W9-2, Email) However, ISON-NEWSOME was not the proper administrator to consider the request and ISON-NEWSOME also failed to obtain proper written approval.

Referral To Outside Agency

No referral was made to any outside agency.

Explanations And Defenses Offered

Torey PAGE, Principal at Wilmer-Hutchins Elementary School, was interviewed by OPR on February 6, 2012. PAGE signed an Administrative Statement and submitted a sworn affidavit. (W9-1. Affidavit) In his affidavit, PAGE stated:

"I have been shown an email and a memo from the Chief of Staff regarding the use of external facilities for professional development that where dated on 06/22/2011 by Rex Stewart. I don't recall seeing the memo or the email from the Chief of Staff."

"After I was selected as the principal of Wilmer-Hutchins Elementary I met with my budget specialist Cynthia Garcia in early January of 2011. At that time I told her of my plans to hold an off campus professional development/ team building event during the week of professional development in August of 2011. The reason for the team building event was because I had hired over 60 new staff members for the new school and wanted to give us an opportunity to build, grow, and learn as a team. She stated to me that it wouldn't be a problem. So I proceeded to continue with my plans to hold my professional development at Alley Cats. I forwarded my campuses staff development agendas to the SELC office the

week prior to the event. This worked out for us because during the week of August 15, 2011 our building hadn't been issued a temporary certificate of occupancy yet."

"I didn't realize until recently that an email and memo was sent out prohibiting outside facility use for staff development. The memo was sent out the day that I was out of the state attending the funeral of my uncle. If I would have known or seen them memo I would have followed the prescribed process for approval. When I returned back from the July break my office manager Sheila Carter and I went to Alley Cats to meet with management as well as plan the team building activity that was scheduled for August 17, 2011. We coordinated with Shirley Shaw in getting the checks cut and we did so without any issues. Although the original deposit check was never received by Alley Cats until the date of the event. We resolved that by voiding the original check and requesting another check for the ending balance."

"At the event the staff created the schools mission and vision statement as well as engaged in dialogue and activities around our campus book study. After lunch we went into team building activities (team laser tag which focused on team strategic planning and team bowling) which were led by the staff of Alley Cats. We then departed from the site at 3:30." fW9-1)

"I have attached the emails and agendas that I forwarded to Ms. Shirley ISON-NEWSOME." (W9-1 and W9-2. Attachments)

The emails with the attached agendas indicated the team building exercise for August 17, 2011 would be held at Alley Cats. (W9-1)

Rebuttal: On August 10, 2011, Cynthia Garcia, Budget Specialist, responded to an email from Shelia Carter, Office Manager at Wilmer- Hutchins Elementary School, asking about funds for the Alley Cats expense because there was a balance due of $1,289.40. This was seven days before the event was to take place. Garcia attached to the email the actual notice from the Chief of Staff concerning the use of external facilities for professional development. The tracking information indicates the email with the attached notice was delivered to PAGE the same day at 1:37 p.m., and PAGE acknowledged receiving the email and reading the email, but not the attachment. (W8-3) and (W9-3)

Shirley ISON-NEWSOME, Interim Division Executive, was interviewed by OPR on February 10, 2012. (W10-1, Memorandum of Interview) In regard to the use of Alley Cats by the staff of Wilmer-Hutchins Elementary School, ISON-NEWSOME was told there was a memorandum from the Chief of Staff regarding the use of external facilities. ISON-NEWSOME said she did not remember the memo, but if that is what it said, it was okay. ISON-NEWSOME said there were three new schools that used such facilities, Halliday Elementary School, Barack Obama Middle School, and Wilmer-Hutchins Elementary School. The Barack Obama School had a corporate sponsor for their event. ISON-NEWSOME was told that she was informed of the intended use of the external facility when Principal PAGE sent the agenda for staff development to her via email. ISON-NEWSOME said she approved of the event. ISON-NEWSOME reviewed the memorandum issued by the Chief of Staff and said the memorandum was issued by the Chief of Staff and not the Chief of Schools. ISON-NEWSOME said there were bigger problems in the District to worry about than this event. (W10-1)

In her written statement emailed to OPR on February 16, 2012, ISON-NEWSOME stated:

"Consider this my statement and the only one that I will submit on this matter. Wilmer Hutchins Elementary utilized an outside venue for it's (sic) team building professional development as part of the overall planning and activity for new school development. The professional development was approved by the Senior Executive Director as well as the Chief for Schools as part of the review, approval and allocation of funds for the planning and activities for new school development. The budget line code was set up by the Budget Department for this approved part of new school planning, as well the Accounts Payable Department issued a check to pay for the venue. Having received no notice from the Chief of Schools that any of the new school plans reviewed and approved should be adjusted or revoked, the principals of the two new elementary schools and the one middle school proceeded with implementing the plans reviewed and approved by the Senior Executive Director Spring 2011; and reviewed with the Chief of Schools. No further change in approval or rescission was given to schools as approvals had already gone through the appropriate process and levels." fW10-2. Email)

Affidavit

Date: February 6,2012

The State of Texas County of Dallas

Before me, Rex Stewart, personally appeared Shelia Carter resident in the County ofj((B^State of Texas, on this day at the Dallas Independent School District's Office of Professional Responsibility, who after being duly sworn, on oath, affirm and says:

I reside a: 4 t f M t f H H H I f l M M | I H H H i B^Jjfand my telephone number :s £ £ P g g g f £ o r 972-925-2600.

I have been employed with DISD for almost nine years. I am currently the Office Manager at Wilmer-Hutchins Elementary School where I have been since March 2011. My employee ID# is 51875.

I have been shown two memorandums for the use of external facilities. I do not recall seeing these documents before today.

During the month of June/July, Mr. Page, Wilmer-Hutchins Elementary School Principal, informed me that he had obtained approval from Ms. Shirley Ison-Newsome to attend Alley Cat for Staff Development during the week the staff reported to work. I arranged a date and time to go to Alley Cat to visit the cite along with Mr. Page. Arrangements were made with the manager, Jay and a fax was sent to put in a check request for the deposit of $300.00. Upon returning back to the campus, John Neely Bryan where we were temporary housed, I proceeded to input the information. Being a new Office manager, I contacted Account Payable to make sure I had the correct line code and I was told by Shirley Shaw to submit the agenda along with the request when I submitted everything for payment. As we got closer to the date, the vendor had not received the deposit check. On the day of the event, I stayed at the campus to wait to hear from Accounts Payable to pick up the remaining balance of $1289.40. When I got there with the balance and I spoke with the cashier, she stated that she had not received the deposit and a lady walked in with the deposit check. She stated that it was in her box and she opened it and immediately brought it to Alley Caf s because she was afraid we would not have our event There was a difference in the amount so the cashier wrote the difference down and asked that a check be cut for the difference in the amount of $204. The initial deposit of $300.00 was voided and another check was requested.

Affiant -•£>>*< I have read every paragraph of this affidavit. I have made corrections where necessary W (initials)

Per our conversation this afternoon, I researched the negative balances you inquired about below.

In regards to the Alley Cat check requisition, please see attached notification sent back on June 22,2011.

We also cleared up the confusion on the negative balance for 199-11-6396-00. The charges should have posted to 199-11-6396-NS. I suggested to you to please contact Nhan Tran via email to have the expenditures transferred.

In reviewing this line code (199-13-6499-00-301-X-99) there is a negative balance of $400.00. There is a balance of $1289.40 due on this transaction for Alley Cat. Where can I pull these funds from? In running my budget report that line is not listed.

Also #2, Line code 199.11.6396.00.301.11,0.00 is showing a negative balance of 9595.00 which is incorrect. It should show negative 2095.00. The original line was 7500 with a purchase on Aug. 4 for $6000.00 leaving a balance of $1500. Where are those funds?

Affidavit

Date: March 7,2012

D

The State of Texas County of Dallas

Before me, Rex Stewart, personally appeared Cynthia Garcia, resident in the County of 4WW^ State of Texas, on this day at the Dallas Independent School District's Office of Professional Responsibility, who after being duly sworn, on oath, affirm and says:

* I'm a 1994 Graduate with an Associate's Degree working towards my Bachelor's Degree. I have been employed by Dallas ISD since November 1,1995. My current assignment is Budget Analyst for the Budget Services Department My duties include but are not limited to Budget Development for next fiscal year, provide monthly analysis of all school and central organizations assigned to me, process transfers to move funds for school's/central department's needs as requested and approved by the principal/director of the organization. Assist office managers/principals/directors and other DISD staff to understand the budget and how it is aligned. Train DISD staff on budget coding and other pertinent information that is needed to run an organization as smoothly as possible. My employee ID# is 14341.

In January of 2011,1 met with the principal of Wilmer Hutchins Elementary, Torey Page, to set up his budget for the remainder of the fiscal year. We discussed many options so that he could get started with the opening of the school. He informed me of his ideas and what he wanted to do to get things started and I was able to tie the line codes to what he said his needs were for the campus. For staff development, he did inform me that he wanted to have all his teachers come together to get geared up and excited about the new school and the new year. He also mentioned a book study that he wanted them to do, which is also considered staff development At that point I set up staff development line codes for travel and for extra duty pay, as well as many other line codes in order for him to proceed with the start-up of Wilmer Hutchins.

At the time of the meeting, Mr. Page never specifically stated a location for the staff development. I suggested locations free to the district such as Center for Community Cooperation. I cannot and never have approved an expense. My responsibility is to set the budget up according to what is stated to me as their campus needs. I do not have the authorization to approve what they can or cannot spend the funds for. I do, however, make suggestions to spend otherwise so that it focuses more on instruction. I did find out about Alleycats after the fact only because the line code was questioned and I was able to drill down into the Oracle system to see what the expense was for. I had never heard of Alleycats before seeing it as an expense. The funds had already been expended. Many campuses/departments contact the Budget Services Department inquiring about a specific charge to their line codes, and even though this is not in our realm of responsibility, we assist them and can drill down to a certain level to see what exactly was paid and when.

If a principal/director has specifically asked me about an expense before the fact, I only "suggest" other options if I feel it will cause a problem but in no way can 1 control or authorize how the funds are actually spent.

I am attaching to this affidavit an email dated January 7, 2011, between Mr. Page and myself and the budget spreadsheet as it was approved to be loaded.

I have read every paragraph of this affidavit I have (initials)

In regards to the Alley Cat check requisition, please see attached notification sent back on June 22,2011.

We also cleared up the confusion on the negative balance for 199-11-6396-00. The charges should have posted to 199-11-6396-NS, I suggested to you to please contact Nhan Tran via email to have the expenditures transferred.

In reviewing this line code (199-13-6499-00-301-X-99) there is a negative balance of $400,00. There is a balance of $1289.40 due on this transaction for Alley Cat. Where can I pull these funds from? In running my budget report that line is not listed.

Also #2, Line code 199.11.6396.00.301.11.0.00 is showing a negative balance of 9595.00 which is incorrect. It should show negative 2095.00. The original line was 7500 with a purchase on Aug. 4 for $6000,00 leaving a balance of $1500. Where are those funds?

Affidavit

Date: February 6, 2012

B

The State of Texas County of Dallas

Before me, Rex Stewart, personally appeared Torey Page resident in the County oMMM* State of Texas, on this day at the Dallas Independent School District's Office of Professional Responsibility, who after being duly sworn, on oath, affirm and says:

I reside at «MiMMftiiJiiMtfrilKi*$8tifc^ rny telephone number is 972-925-2604.

I received .from the University of Phoenix in 2005 a Masters in Education Administration. I have been an educator since 1997. All of my professional educational experience has been with Dallas ISD. I am currently serving my first year as a building principal at Wilmer-Hutchins Elementary. My employee identification number is 30053. .

I have been shown an email and a memo from the Chief of Staff regarding the use of external facilities for professional development that where dated on 06/22/2011 by Rex Stewart. I don't recall seeing the memo or the email from the Chief of Staff.

After 1 was selected as the principal of Wilmer-Hutchirjs Elementary I met with my budget specialist Cynthia Garcia in early January of 2011. At that time I told her of my plans to hold an off campus professional development/ team building event during the week of professional development in August of 2011. The reason for the team building event was because I had hired over 60 new staff members for the new school and wanted to give us an opportunity to build, grow, and learn as a team. She stated to me that it wouldn't be a problem. So I proceeded to continue with my plans to hold my professional development at Alley Cats. I forwarded my campuses staff development agendas to the SELC office the week prior to the event. This worked out for us because during the week of August 15, 2011 our building hadn't been issued a temporary certificate of occupancy yet.

I didn't realize until recently that an email and memo was sent out prohibiting outside facility use for staff development. The memo was sent out the day that I was out of the state attending the funeral of my uncle. If I would have known or seen them memo I would have followed the prescribed process for approval. When I returned back from the July break my office manager Sheila Carter and I went to Alley Cats to meet with management as well as plan the team building activity that was scheduled for August 17, 2011. We coordinated with Shirley Shaw in getting the checks cut and we did so without any issues. Although the original deposit check was never received by Alley Cats until the date of the event. We resolved that by voiding the original check and requesting another check for the ending balance.

At the event the staff created the schools mission and vision statement as well as engaged in dialogue and activities around our campus book study. After lunch we went into team building activities(team laser tag which focused on team strategic planning and team bowling) which were led by the staff of Alley Cats. We then departed from the site at 3:30.

Persons Present: Shirley Ison-Newsome, Interviewee Rex Stewart, Inspector

Shirley Ison-Newsome, Interim Division Executive was interviewed regarding the "Team Building" event by the staff Wilmer-Hutchins Elementary School. Ison-Newsome was told that OPR needed her input as to the excursion of the Wilmer-Hutchins staff to Alley Cats on August 17, 2011. Ison-Newsome said it was not an excursion, but a "Team Building" event. I told Ison-Newsome that was a poor use of a word on my part.

I told ilson-Newsome that there was a memo issue by the Chief of Staff in June 2011 regarding such expenses. Ison-Newsome said she did not remember the memo, but if that is what it said, that's okay. She said there were three new schools that opened up in 2011, Halliday, Barack Obama and Wilmer-Hutchins. Each school had a budgeted expense for a team building exercise. She said that Barack Obama had a corporate sponsor for their event. She did not know anything about Adele Turner having an event because that was not one of her schools.

Ison-Newsome was told OPR had an email where she was notified of the event and seem to give her approval. She said that was okay if that is what it said. She said all her schools send her their agendas. Ison-Newsome said she approved of the event.

I gave Ison-Newsome the memorandum sent by the Chief of Staff to read. She glanced at it. I told her it took one level above her to approve the expense in writing: Ison-Newsome said she received a lot of memos. Ison-Newsome said the memo was issued by the Chief of Staff and not the Chief of Schools. Ison-Newsome said there were bigger problems to worry about than this.

Ison-Newsome said she would prepare a statement about her actions regarding the event and email it to me.

This memorandum was prepared by Inspector Rex Stewart from notes made during the interview.

Ison-Newsome, Shirley J Thursday, February 16, 2012 10:12 AM Stewart, Rex B Smith, Donald R; Nielsen, Peter Re: Statement

Consider this my statement and the only one that I will submit on this matter. Wilmer Hutchins Elementary utilized an outside venue for it's team building professional development as part of the overall planning and activity for new school development. The professional development was approved by the Senior Executive Director as well as the Chief for Schools as part of the review, approval and allocation of funds for the planning and activities for new school development. The budget line code was set up by the Budget Department for this approved part of new school planning, as well the Accounts Payable Department issued a check to pay for the venue. Having received no notice from the Chief of Schools that any of the new school plans reviewed and approved should be adjusted or revoked, the principals of the two new elementary schools and the one middle school proceeded with implementing the plans reviewed and approved by the Senior Executive Director Spring 2011; and reviewed with the Chief of Schools. No further change in approval or rescission was given to schools as approvals had already gone through the appropriate process and levels.
