When there’s an Educational Foundation in your county, the message sounds great: pro-education, supplemental funding for the school, and local community support. A foundation is an independent non-profit organization, and its entity is not legally part of a school district. When it comes to Worcester County, the local educational foundation tells a much different story.
The mission of the non-profit is to raise supplemental funds for the county school system, but their operation is suspicious. Their contributions to the local school system appear to be much less than they claim. So much less, that the existence of the organization seems to be costing the taxpayers instead of supplementing them, accomplishing opposite of what the non-profit claims in their IRS reported mission statement:
The private foundation has a full-time director that’s an employee on the payroll of the Worcester County Board of Education (Worcester County Public Schools). The director was given the title of Manager of Operations and Community Relations by the foundation back in 2020, but her role to run the private non-profit dates back to 2016 as documented in employment records. The position was officially filed to the government under Worcester County Public Schools and listed as “Education Foundation Assistant.”

You can see in 2023, the Education Foundation Assistant’s job title changes, because what the foundation was doing had been discovered (but hidden from the public).
Looks like our highly-degreed superiors have some ‘splaining to do!
I’m sorry you think a high school diploma is “highly-degreed.”
Fraudsters…the superintendent and those six board members should resign. The children are always hurt in the end.
Defund public education and boe theft..issue school vouchers to all taxpayers let us decide we’re and who teaches our future Americans. The current tax sucking incompetency must stop!!
