Today’s Connecticut Post has an extraordinary article about Paul Vallas, Bridgeport’s Superintendent of Schools.  Unfortunately the Page One story is not on-line, but as soon as it is, you’ll be able to find a link here.

Wait, What? readers may recall two blog posts a few days ago that revealed that Paul Vallas had hired a number of consultants to help him in Bridgeport.  Most, if not all of these people work for his private company, The Vallas Group, or have worked with him in his previous positions as the CEO of the Chicago, Philadelphia or New Orleans school systems.  See:  http://jonathanpelto.com/2012/08/02/will-no-one-stand-up-for-the-taxpayers-of-bridgeport/ and http://jonathanpelto.com/2012/07/31/paul-vallas-and-bridgeports-illegal-board-of-education-the-law-applies-to-you-too/
