"I'm condemned by a society that demands success when all I can offer is failure!"

The Christina School District, the largest in the state of Delaware, has uncovered the startling secret to why its budget is in a $13.9 million deficit:

"Audit: Christina hired too many people

"A practice of hiring staffers without the means to pay them is largely to blame for a $13.9 million budget shortfall the Christina School District has two months to fix, state analysts said Thursday."

The audit report went on to note that the district committed 90 percent of it projected discretionary funds to paying salaries, and 107 percent of its project fiscal year 2006 tax revenues to paying salaries.

Who's running that district? Bialystock and Bloom?
