IPS/FOIA Update

By Abdul Hakim-Shabazz

I e-mailed Dr. Eugene White this afternoon to let him know tomorrow I was dropping off my Freedom of Information request regarding the budget at the district office.

Here is his response.

Abdul,

I will check with my budget developer and we will let you know how soon we can have the total budget information ready for you.  I assume that your interest is in the General Fund Budget.  That is the one referred to in the Sunday Indianapolis Star.

Dr.  Eugene G. White, Superintendent

Although I am glad the Superintendent plans to honor my request, it shouldn’t take a FOIA request from the media to get simple budget information, and the members of the board who voted for the budget without going over this information, should be run out of town on a rail.

And just so you know, I still plan to drop off my FOIA request tomorrow just to be on the safe side, and so there is something in writing.   Once I get the information I plan to make it available to all of you.
