I could not get it to come up, so I did a search and found this at the Sun Sentinel.

"Taxpayers paid nearly $47 million more than necessary to replace 15 Broward elementary school cafeterias, according to a scathing new audit that says the School Board and administrators sidestepped state laws when awarding the contracts to six construction companies.

In one project, at Margate Elementary School, school district auditors say they found indicators of potential fraud when the $5.6 million contract went to a Pompano Beach firm, the only company to bid.

The report also accuses several companies of obstructing the audit by refusing to turn over records and of appearing to collude with subcontractors, which could result in higher costs for the work."

Education in our state is being controlled by extremists.
