New What for New Who?: Some More
Document 6: A roundup of some of NSNO’s highest-paid “independent contractors for professional services.”
One question—I thought NSNO offered professional services for charter schools and their boards? And looking at the mission statement again, I’m not sure what funds where went to “[a]ttracting and preparing talent to teach and lead” or “[a]dvocating for accountable and sustainable high quality public schools.”
From 2007-2011, The New Teacher Project in Brooklyn got $1,031,571, Marci Cornell-Feist got $222,485 for “consulting” and “board governance,” and Nancy Euske got $465,327 for “consulting” and “leadership training.” A grand total of $3,371,555 of NSNO funds went to individuals and organizations outside Louisiana to “achieve excellent public schools for every child in New Orleans.”
Documents 7 and 8: Usdin’s candidate’s report listed on 10/9/12 $110,467.50 in contributions and $23,351.98 in expenditures, leaving Usdin with $87,115.52 at the time the paperwork was filed to run for “a part-time job, with a ceiling of less than $10,000 fixed by state law” [Johnson, A. So You Want to Run for School Board?Gambit/bestofneworleans.com, 7/13/2004.].
