Chicago Public Schools watchdog finds employee travel spending doubled after COVID — on trips to Las Vegas, Finland and Estonia

The Chicago Sun-Times reports:

The Chicago Public Schools watchdog found that spending on overnight travel doubled after the pandemic when schools and the district were flush with federal COVID relief money — and that some trips were “questionable, excessive and even exorbitant.”

The No. 1 destination was Las Vegas, even though some of the seminars staff attended were also offered locally or included virtual options, the inspector general said in an investigative report released Wednesday. There were also staff excursions to far-flung places like Finland and Estonia.

Inspector General Philip Wagenknecht said deficient policies allowed this travel to go unchecked.

“Clearly, in this system there was not significant oversight, and there wasn’t a practice of carefully reviewing school and department expenditures to make sure the trips that were being booked were necessary, that they were justified and that they were done economically,” he said. “If more had been done in that area, a lot of money could have been saved.”


It appears that the Chicago Public Schools system doesn't believe in the Climate Religion  or they wouldn't be doing so many seminars by airplane when they don't have to.
