$2 million mix-up?

So how does a bill for $2 million get delivered to St. Louis Public Schools in December 2005, but not come to the attention of the superintendent or the chief financial officer until last Monday?

“The district is in the process of investigating this matter. At this time we are unable to release any information,” answered Johnny Little, the district’s public information director.

On Tuesday, June 6, Superintendent Creg Williams informed the school board that next year’s budget is currently $4 million over budget — double what was thought just a few days before. Williams said the reason was that a bill from the district’s Pension Board just landed on his desk Monday, after apparently being recieved by someone in SLPS six months before.

Little declined to say whether this situation is at all related to the sudden resignation this week of the district’s treasurer, Enos Moss.
