When Good People Fail To Get Involved

I found it very interesting the recent arrests of the former board president of the Penn-Delco School District in Delaware County and its former superintendent whom were charged in connection with an alleged scheme to secretly invest money in a company that operated child-care programs at district schools.

A reported statement from one resident told the existing school board members "We're going to be watching every move you make". It was also reported that the school board got a tongue lashing outraged by the scandal. "I think this was all done for greed on their part," said Janice Fromal of Aston. "The people arrested today are, in essence, charged with violating the trust imposed in them," said Delaware County District Attorney Mike Green.

What I find even more interesting and perplexing why good people were not watching before this happened? Most people by nature are trusting and do the right thing. But remember the old saying "People do not do what you expect, they do what you inspect".

Don't let what happened in the Penn Delco School District happen here. Get involved and keep yourself informed. We will do our best to report all of the ongoing local government business here ... please stay tuned!
