School District Audit

Article

Tax money is supposed to be spent for the good of the people and bettering society. Education is a large part of this but not all of it is spent correctly.
In the article I have linked it explains the situation where a school audit in Fort Worth Texas found that millions of dollars in computer equipment in a North Texas school district was purchased and never used over 7 years. Money was then used on maintenance fees for the unused equipment.
This is a very interesting topic in that it shows the underlying abuse of government money. Education is very important but it surprises me that something like this could happen. More importantly even if the equipment couldn't be returned it could have been used by less fortunate schools that would benefit far more from the equipment.
I encourage anyone to take a look at this article since it's something that affects us all, down to the money we pay for these school districts to have what they need to operate.
