Cataloging Nepotism At MSD Decatur Township

Okay fellow Decaturites, I can use your help.  I want to make a sidebar on this blog that lists all of the relatives of Board members and Administrators who are on the payroll at MSD Decatur Township.  Please contribute the name of the employee, position, and relation to person of influence.  Also add any other fact you think would enhance the utility of this list to waking up the Township to how much advantage these folks are personally taking of the District and its taxpayers.

Thank you.

Is Rita Ryden still DEA? Her daughter, Elisabeth Rini is a teacher in the township.

There is nothing in place prohibiting nepotism. Anyone hired by the township is considered the BEST FIT FOR THE JOB. No laws have been/are broken. No one has been given any favor or has been hired because of a relative in the schools. Once again.....only the BEST FOR THE JOB have ever been hired.

They did not hire Stinson's daughter until he gets ready to retire. When did she become best for the job? She is paid an extra $12,000 by the taxpayers that would not be the case if she was a beginning teacher???????? Nepotism is rampant.

Nepotism

Board Member Judy Collins daughter
Board Member Don Huffman's grandson
Superintendent Don Stinson's daughter
?Susan Adam's "relatives"
Principal Preda's wife

These are "blood" relatives - doesn't include their friends and party animals.

anon 2:35 - do you have no ethical principles? sure, it's legal (at least currently) but reasonable persons would conclude it to be unethical

I say its ethical if they meet qualitication, but its no reason to pay them more money. As I have found MSD dectur school and the school board line there own pocket and throw good money after bad. Like putting a fence up we didnt need what to protect the children. oh well let just FENCE it all in. THey dont care about teacher bus driver or the people that are the school. JUST GO AHEAD AND RAISE TAXES TO PAY FOR THEY NEED

You might want to check out Pike Township board meetings on the Internet. They have both detailed minutes and videos of their board meetings. Check out Perry's also. Decatur just "hides."

Decatur needs to get caught. Don't give up but it will take time.

Nepotism

Greenwalds daughter-in-law = school nurse

Wisemans husband = originally hired as a night custodian, quickly moved up to a day custodian; quickly moved to a building specific day custodian and then a new district wide administrative job created for him. All within a year.....

Wiseman = lives in Mooresville. That's not nepotism but don't you have to live in your district when you're on a school board?

Parents in Franklin Township paying for school bus transportation might want to contact Gov. Daniels and talk about the wasted tax dollars on retirees like expensive superintendent in Decatur Township. Decatur could use some help and so could Franklin Township.

You know, with all of these township schools forcing these busing fee on parents (Taxpayers)is unconstiutional.The only way the fees can be charged is through private schools only, Some or all have public school districts have the word "Corporation" such as "Decatur township school corporation" to fool people, it should say "Decatur township schools tax funded" PBS t.v reminds us that they are too, funded by people like YOU. and they even say "thank you".
School boards around here make these claims that they are short of money or what not, really its because they need more to keep the gravy train going and cover up those lawsuits now and/or in the making. Is it me or the people living in this country.. stupid? People should be asking questions, finding out why so many stupid, dumb mistakes are still being made by these Superintendents, their cronies, holding the school boards across Indiana
responible for their actions. School board know nothing of the kind, if they were a business, they would be under such tension and stress from the stock holders from mismanagements and forced into liquidation.Remember I'm talking to PARENTS, TAXPAYERS, VOTERS, "a stick can be broken easily, but a bunch of sticks cannot be".

Hear Stinson wants a building named after him. Is that what is holding up his retirement? Maybe give him a bar seat rather than a rocking chair?

How is Huffman affiliated with CIESC? Parents pay attention!!!! This is same bus service Franklin Twp. has. How much will it cost us to send our children to school on a bus next year?

Don Huffman said " AS LONG AS I AM ON THIS SCHOOLBOARD WE WILL NEVER HAVE A BUS SERVICE IN THIS TOWNSHIP".

NOT UNLESS THEY LINE HIS POCKETS WITH GOLD.......

ANYONE ELSE REMEMBER THIS STATEMENT??

Holy bitterness....wow. Usually, I like to read the comments on this blog because I think it is interesting to see various sides of issues within the township but these comments are just bitter....also, they completely don't even answer the original blog post. Bus service and relatives? What?

Who is meeting on Thursday. There is not a board meeting posted?????

Anonymous said...

No its not a board meeting its a township meeting to find good people to run for school board.Decatur township needs change!!!!!!

Anonymous said...

Anon 8:12: Why would you want change? This board is the best the township ever had. LOL no one will beat any of these people! The township had it's say a couple of years ago; remember the landslide election where Dr. Henson and Ms. Wiseman were re-elected in a LANDSLIDE? We have the teachers union behind us, and no candidate that has that support will lose. The township has spoken!

If the school board is keeping such things hush hush,like rider's fees, changing of the guard (Don Stinson to Debbie) until the next election. They keep this under the rug even when ask they won't tell us....Look at the big bucks those at central office are making, just ask for their salaries under FREEDOM OF INFOMATION ACT, it will tell the whole story.Follow the money. The school board acts like it none of our business. If Wayne township is in this kind of mess..who knows how much Decatur is in. Only time will tell.
