HISD battle cry: CHARGE IT!!!

Houston Independent School District doled out 1,200 credit cards; some staffers issued cards have bad credit and bankruptcies

This story comes to us from the investigative reporters at Texas Watchdog:

A similar story was reported by AFP two years ago when we found out that Dallas ISD didnot maintain information on their credit card charges, and were charging atround $3 million a month. Three DISD officials were indicted.

Your tax dollars at work; your education dollars aren't getting to the classroom.
