Dearest reader,
Step 4 takes us into the check register for Jefferson Schools in Monroe County. 🔎
A few selected vendors and expenses from the ledger:
⚖️ Miller Johnson — $34,451.00
⚖️ Thrun Law Firm — $3,618.50
Combined legal spending: $38,069.50
Among the Miller Johnson charges were entries specifically identified as Title IX investigations. Those entries totaled $11,013.00.
A few other selected vendors:
📖 NEOLA — $3,785.00
Policy/consulting
🏛� James S. Jacobs Architects — $3,395.00
Architectural/design services
📣 USA Today Media — $1,586.88
Advertising
🧾 Calkins Hehl Rafko — $34,350.00
Audit/accounting
As always, these are selected entries from the district's check register, not a complete list of everything Jefferson Schools purchased during the year.
Nothing here is automatically good spending or bad spending simply because a vendor appears in the ledger. Lady B's job is to pull the receipts, organize them, and let readers see where some of the dollars went.
Onward to Step 5. 📖
With receipts and respect. 👑
