Dearest reader,
�
Now we follow the checks.
�
Step 4 takes us into Flat Rock Community Schools' check registers and other financial records to see where some of the district's dollars went.
�
And as always, this is a selected look at expenditures. Not a complete list of every vendor the district paid.
�
One vendor towers over the rest of this particular list.
�
EduStaff LLC received $3,049,760.78 during the July 2025 through June 2026 period reviewed.
�
Kohler Architecture received approximately $314,462.
�
Yeo & Yeo received $44,250 across the audit payments identified, including the additional August 2026 payment.
�
The district reported $19,451.86 in association dues.
�
IMSE consulting totaled $14,400.
�
And then there is Apptegy.
�
Lady B found $13,398.13 for Thrillshare, split between two six-month periods, plus another $750 payment identified as "Athletics Webpage."
�
Total identified Apptegy spending: $14,148.13.
�
That one gets a red circle because longtime readers may remember that Lady B has encountered Apptegy and Thrillshare before while following other Michigan school district receipts.
�
Finally, after removing the Law Offices of Dennis transactions from this review, the selected legal payments to Foley & Robinette, Miller Johnson and Thrun totaled $7,770.
�
None of these numbers, standing alone, tells us whether an expenditure was necessary, unnecessary, expensive, inexpensive, wise or unwise.
�
That's not what the ledger does.
�
It shows you what was paid, who received it, and where another breadcrumb may be worth following.
�
And sometimes one familiar name is enough to make Lady B reach for another cup of tea. ☕👀
�
With receipts and respect,
Lady B 👑
