Madison Virtual Campus costs $1.34 million so far
I asked Roger Price to point out where I could find spending for the Virtual Campus in the MMSD budget documents.
The MMSD then provided a memo which shows the following expenditures from DPI grants:$295,000 . . 2001-2002
$250,000 . . 2002-2003
$235,000 . . 2003-2004
$250,000 . . 2004-2005
$200,000 . . 2005-2006
$100,000 . . 2006-2007
$ 7,755 Spring 2005
———
$1,337,755 Total“No district operating budget has been used to build the Virtual Campus,” according to the memo (original emphasis).
Based on Johnny Winston’s comment, “Why don’t people know about this,” I can only assume that the administration spent $1.34 million without ever informing the Board of Education. That’s just plain wrong (my emphasis).
