HCM or Human Capital Management undertook a change or reorganization back a few years ago. We know that hiring and other functions of the department have been very unorganized and inconsistent. The area that also needs help is staffing. We know that many employees have not been vetted and some have records. One individual at an elementary has been there for many years and back in 2009 or so he was called by OPS because they found a record on him. Apparently it dealt with assault involving minors or the like. The person was off a few days and came back and is still at the school.
So we can go through many individuals but HCM does not vet well.
For example we have Christopher Riddick who was hired by FWISD. He abandoned FWISD years ago. He went on to work at Milwood hospital and was fired due to HIS PATIENT COMMITTING SUICIDE. So I wonder if he put it on his resume now that he has been rehired. Former employees describe him as a bully. So is he safe to work with students or be around them? WHy would he be rehired? He must have friends in high places and how did HCM not find out about his prior employee?
The district sure found out that palazzolo owed some money back in the 80s, which was a non issue and they used it to fire him because he lied on his application and then on settlement said they didn't want him around children but you have someone who does worse and gets a nice position. Tell me if that's not hypocrisy..
So who is doing the background checks? Apparently it looks like no one......

The 2014 FWISD PROMOTIONS begin
We all know that rewards are high in FWISD if you are involved in a cover up and play by the rules. Also the growth of staff at the district continues and of course many questionable hirings of family members.
So let's drop the red carpet!
Here comes Debra Bell secretary to former principal winner Alexander. She is being promoted to technology. So this is her reward for helping cover up the issue at AHHS. At the same time you have very qualified individuals who have been passed over even when they are doing the job. If not mistaken Diana Vargas at staffing processed her own son for a technology position where a qualified candidate that already works for the district was passed over. So again conflict of interest. Check technology and see if her son is not there.
Now Mr. Dansby is here to provide an update on how sports are more important than academics.
"I want to announce to the principals and of course our stakeholders that Athletic Directors will not be teaching more than 3 classes a day and so I will need more FTEs (more teachers) so that they can grow the program."
Who will get rewarded next?
Stay tuned because it's the time of year that those who have done his bidding will be getting their reward regardless if they are qualified to do so. Hence last year Jason Oliver, Principal of AHHS, promoted to director and Xavier Sanchez, whose mom is an assistant superintendent, got promoted to director. None showed any type of academic anything but who cares right, it's just our students lives at stake. FWISD takes care of their own!!

DANSBY WOES CONTINUE
As you may recall, Dansby has long been a fort worth child in the ISD. He has been a manager for the most part as it shows in how he can't seem to manage curriculum or knows exactly what our schools need. If it's a football field or anything athletic he is on it and giddy like a kid, just watch him at board meetings.
But let's get to what is gong on now. The Palazzolo case was settled in court but they haven't responded to an appeal. Then a defamation suit was filed due to the release of the executive session recording that showed just how they would get Mr. Palazzolo to disappear from being in schools and basically put him in a closet. Now that the case will move forward, the district discussed in closed session to ask the attorney general if he can get sued since the information was done in closed session and that's confidential. Well it would be different if the district had not released the information on what they call an accident. As mentioned in other writings and I believe statements from the people involved are in the documents not meant to be seen post, if not can give you access to them. In those statements most of the workers state that they have never been asked to put microphones inside a closed session and even the technicians were surprised that they had to put up the microphones and second that they were asked to leave and have the secretaries handle the equipment when they have never done it.
Dansby states in his statement that a board member needed the microphones to amplify the conversation. If any of you have ever been inside the board room, when you have only board members I am sure that they could hear each other. The only way for a microphone to amplify if it's on. From the statements Dansby asked for them to amplify sound and make sure they were turned off. How do you amplify if they are not on?
So now he finds himself in another lawsuit that will cost more money. The district lawyers or others that the district used declined to represent him. Now the district has acquired other lawyers of which one is pictured as a registered lobbyist.
Now the Star is upset that the board keeps delaying Dansby's evaluation and mainly because there are board members who are opposed to extending his contract. SO far it looks like 4 to vote no, so get with your board member to pressure to vote him out. He has caused enough trouble and money. Recall the Tocco issues, he was involved in that but of course when you hide everything then he is safe.

IF YOU LIE YOU GET TO STAY IN FWISD...
So it seems that Gene Oehl gets to stay when he lied about his degree that never was....
Maybe if he has lied about a degree from A&M, he would now be a District Director making a six figure income. Dansby and Kaufman were involved in this:

School executive under investigation over his resume

Article Text:
A supervisor promoted to help overhaul the Fort Worth school district’s troubled maintenance department is himself under an internal investigation amid questions about his resume.
Gene Oehl, who was named the new executive director of custodial services Tuesday, listed a bachelor of science degree from Texas A&M University among his qualifications. The resume was given to trustees before they unanimously approved his hiring.
But Registrar Donald Carter told the Star-Telegram that, according to the university’s records, Oehl did not complete requirements for a degree. He attended classes from 1966 to 1970, Carter said.
Oehl, 56, who has worked for the district for more than two decades, did not return repeated phone calls.
He is one of two men promoted as part of a reorganization of the department that oversees custodial, maintenance and construction projects. Deputy Superintendent Walter Dansby revamped the department in response to frequent complaints about performance, including criticism from state Comptroller Carole Keeton Rylander. The FBI is also investigating the district’s construction spending.
“In my estimation, he was the best person for the job,” said Dansby, who declined to comment on the investigation.
The district began the investigation after the newspaper asked about the resume discrepancy Friday. Dansby said he hopes that it will be finished by next week.
Superintendent Thomas Tocco also declined to comment on the investigation, saying it is a personnel matter. He said that “misrepresentation of a college degree on an application to get a job or to be considered for a promotion is an exceedingly serious matter.”
District employees can be fired for misrepresenting facts to a supervisor or district official or for falsifying documents related to district activities, according to board policy.
Trustee Juan Rangel questioned whether Oehl could be an effective supervisor if he is found to have lied about his credentials.
“I think the work environment would not be healthy,” Rangel said.
But Trustee Elaine Klos said she believes that Oehl’s experience with the district is more relevant than whether his resume was misleading. She said that someone else might have typed his resume and that he might not have read it.
“People exaggerate their resumes all the time,” Klos said.
Oehl’s new position does not require a college degree. Only a high school diploma is mandatory, although a college degree is preferred. The position pays $84,031.
Carla Kaufman, Fort Worth’s assistant superintendent of human resources, said her department is required to check the transcripts of new hires who claim to have degrees. But she declined to discuss the policy for internal candidates.

PAYROLL AUDIT REPORT
Seems that FWISD is a money tree.. throwing money away while taxpayers bare the brunt of paying for bonds and taxes when no one is truly watching where the money is going.
