For one, I’m totally ecstatic that Opdahl has resigned. But then I see things like this in today’s Advocate:
Opdahl said he planned to leave before the end of the school year, and he wants to work out a deal in which he can help take care of any loose ends.
Oh yeah, here’s a loose end that I’d like to see taken care of. A forensic audit of the construction projects and a forensic audit of operating budgets and any contracts signed by Opdahl. Since Opdahl wsa notorious for not documenting routine things, like travel expenses, I’d just like a line item list of all reas where a lack of documentation exists. Let’s start with the kitchen equipment that sits unused. Who authroized the pruchase, when was it paid out, and what equipment does the school district actaully have.
Same goes for the “new curriculum” departments brought in as replacement for woodworking. What happened to the equipment, what was purchased and where is it etc.
Lastly I’d like to see what “professional” associations have been “purchased” on behalf of Opdahl.
That’s a start to the loose ends. But maybe more importantly, effective immediately, Opdahl shouldn’t sign off on any contracts or purchases.
