With this, the need for contracts will less likely be repetitive or wasteful. <br /><br />Further, parents should also be at the decision-making table in all regards. Parents involved in the procurement process, including evaluating the proposed curricular materials, training modules, etc. that are purchased, will support less repetitive and or wasteful spending as well. <br /><br />Lastly, contracts via other agencies like HRA, DYCD, ACS, etc... should be shown so that we can better be able to see if there is repetitive and or wasteful spending. Until then, the DOE should explain its own decision-making which these documents, and exactly why these are needed.<br /><br />In closing, Educators in charge of Education, Parents at the decision-making table, and all contracts being shown within one document will undoubtedly disclose wasteful spending, and promote effective budgeting that will enhance schooling for NYCDOE. Our children will benefit greatly, and Excellence in Education will be a goal in motion.<br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03017408213000338319noreply@blogger.com
