ORTEGA LEADS OUSD CONFERENCE COSTS
The Orange Unified School District taxpayers shelled out over $10,500 in educational tax dollars for conference expenses for OUSD Trustee John Ortega to attended 15 conferences for the 2002-2003 and 2003-2004 school years. Ortega topped the long list of conference expenses for OUSD Trustees and OUSD Administrators for the expenses of those two school years (the 2004-2005 conference expenses were not yet available to ONN). OUSD Trustee Rick Ledesma topped the list for highest average expense in those two school years with two his two conferences costing an average of $1191.92 per conference / $349.55 per day (see charts below).
In analyzing the data, the results of having no OUSD expense policy results in large differences in expenses for the same conference by elected officials and district bureaucrats. The following are examples:
Example 1
The California School Board Association (CSBA) 2002 Annual Conference held for four days in San Francisco from 12/4/02-12/7/02. Former OUSD Trustee Bob Viviano arrived a day early and left a day after the conference (6 days total), yet had the second lowest daily expense account-$318.25 a day. OUSD Trustee Melissa Smith only stayed two days, yet had the highest daily expense of almost $500.00 a day. Trustee John Ortega had the lowest daily rate for the San Francisco conference at $294.27 a day. Totals for all OUSD attendees:
Melissa Smith: daily cost $490.49 x 2 days= $ 980.98 expense total
Kim Nichols: daily cost - $474.49 x 2 days= $ 949.98 expense total
Kathy Moffat: daily cost - $426.55 x 4 days= $1706.22 expense total
Robert French: daily cost $419.60 x 3 days= $1258.79 expense total
Rick Ledesma: daily cost $366.16 x 3 days= $1098.48 expense total
Bob Viviano: daily cost - $318.25 x 6 days= $1909.50 expense total
John Ortega: daily cost - $294.27 x 4 days= $1177.09 expense total
Example 2
Totals for the 2003 CSBA Conference 12/10/03-12/13/03:
Rick Ledesma: daily cost $321.59 x 4 days= $1286.37 expense total
Bob Viviano: daily cost - $290.34 x 4 days= $1161.37 expense total
Kathy Moffat: daily cost - $251.13 x 4 days= $1004.53 expense total
John Ortega: daily cost - $248.76 x 4 days= $ 995.06 expense total
Melissa Smith: daily cost $238.87 x 4 days= $ 955.49 expense total
Robert French: daily cost $218.99 x 4 days= $ 875.99 expense total
Kim Nichols: daily cost - $186.02 x 4 days= $ 744.08 expense total
Example 3
At the revocation law firm Miller, Brown, Dannis one-day workshop called Current Law for Educators held on October 25, 2002 in Long Beach, the following expenses were paid:
Trustee Kathy Moffat $ 0
Trustee Kim Nichols $ 160.00
Ass’t Superintendent Cheryl Cohen $ 200.00
A year later on November 21, 2003, OUSD employees had these expenses for the Miller, Brown, Dannis workshop Current Law for Educators :
Ass’t Superintendent Thomas Godley $55.00
Ass’t Superintendent Ed Kissee $25.22
OUSD Superintendent Thomas Godley reported that the recently approved Orange Unified School Board budget for 2005-2006 school year included cutting the Conference Budget from $50,000 to $20,000. At the last OUSD Board meeting July 14th 2005, the OUSD Trustees approved Item DD giving blanket approval for the Trustees to attend local conferences for this year to spend that $20,000. ONN has obtained the completed conference expense records for those “local conferences” that are covered by similar Item DD Blanket Budget approval for the 2003-2004 and 2002-2003 school years. Those year’s were the beginning of the current budget crisis were cut backs and layoffs began as then Assistant Superintendent Thomas Godley announced his three budget possibilities including his now famous “doomsday” budget. While the district spent freely over 1.5 million dollars on a controversial consulting program called Focus on Result, the following conference expenses also piled up.
(For next year’s 2005-2006 budget to make-up for the shortfalls and cutbacks, the OUSD Trustees for the first time turned to the Orange Education Foundation. The Orange Education Foundation sent out letters to parents asking for a donation of $175.00 per family).
