Investigation of Earlham Community School District Employee’s Personal Use of a School Vehicle, July 6, 2012

We received a complaint in late September 2011 that an Earlham School District employee had borrowed a school vehicle for her personal use for one month, with the Superintendent’s permission. The school board had discussed the circumstances of the borrowed district vehicle in closed session. The complainant believed this was contrary to Iowa law and also believed no action had been taken against the school employee who borrowed the vehicle or the superintendent who allowed the personal use of the vehicle. He was aware the school district’s attorney reviewed the matter and determined the employee and superintendent violated no law or district policies. Since the school board discussed the matter only in closed session, it was unknown what, if any, discipline was taken against the employees and whether such actions were condoned by the district. We agreed to investigate to determine if the actions of school officials or employees violated Iowa law and if the response from the school board was appropriate.

Gestão de recursos para manutenção e desenvolvimento do ensino na esfera municipal

O trabalho objetivou desvelar a gestão dos recursos para manutenção e desenvolvimento do ensino no município de Campo Grande, capital do estado de Mato Grosso do Sul, no período de 1997 a 2012. O propósito foi verificar em que medida o montante de recursos disponíveis seria suficiente para a garantia do direito à educação nas etapas da educação básica sob a responsabilidade e a competência do município. Trabalhou-se com a legislação e documentos de âmbito federal e municipal, com destaque para os balanços gerais do município e a literatura pertinente à temática. Constatou-se que as receitas municipais se mostraram ascendentes no período, o que pode ter contribuído para a universalização do ensino fundamental e para a expansão obrigatória da educação básica.
